[Rhodes22-list] Masthead Light

[Hank]

Marlan,

As you mentioned in your post, you are correct that anything on a DC
circuit can "share" the ground wire so your four wire connector could
control three lights with one ground wire.  Common installations have
grounding bus bars in strategic locations throughout a boat with all
of the devices in that area grounding to the bus bar and then a single
wire back to the main bus bar and on to the battery.  Here is an
example of a busbar from WM.

Regards,

Hank
