That was the previous post that I started on the subject. I think that grant had a good diagram of what needed to be done. The link was something like "svtsupercharged.com" but it's no longer working . To upgrade the charging wire from the alt to the battery would it be better to leave all the factory wiring in place and add an additional heavier gauge wire and breaker directly from the alt to the battery. Or upgrade the existing charging wire that goes through the main breaker?

Wanted to update this with some pics. I took Brett's advice and just piggybacked the current system in place and hope I did everything right. I installed a 100amp breaker and 4 gauge charging and grounding cables. I even left the old ground wire in place even thought I could have probably left it out. Let me know what you think. I used welding cable and ran out of red heat shrink so forgive the blue on the charging cable.

Was going to start the boat yesterday but wanted to see if someone could verify my upgraded wires real quick before I did and blew up the boat lol
