No prob. One other thought if grounds don’t help would be to disconnect the MFD see if the problem continues. Try to isolate it. Who knows, maybe you have some other random short somewhere.

Very nice install too!

If it was 21’ or less, it likely had a VP AQ125B 4 cylinder with a 270 model outdrive. They were actually super reliable, simple, and durable powertrains. My uncle still has my dad’s old ‘85 1950...
