Purchasing a new 2024 521r. I've always heard to run each electronic unit on its own dedicated 8 gauge line direct to one battery which is dedicated for only electronics (this boat will have 4 graphs which include Garmin Live Scope). Have you guys done this or do you trust plugging into the existing factory wiring?
This boat has dedicated 6 Gauge with 30 Amp breaker for electronics

The main benefit of running your electronics off a dedicated battery is the minimization of potential interference from boat electric functions. Especially avoiding the cranking battery.
