Newbie here. I am just wondering if the only places to ground an amp would be to the battery or the engine? I have been told to keep the ground wire pretty short but my amp is pretty damn big and I do not have a lot of options on where to put the amp. The location I am thinking about putting the amp is about 9 to 10 feet from the battery or engine. Will that be ok? Thanks for the help.

P.S. I will post some pics of the boat soon.

That will be fine. I did that setup on my friends Pro-V.

You can also do what I did and move the battery's.

I'm with Phaeton, move the battery up front. That is what I did. I used 2/0 welding cable from the existing battery disconnect and grounding point on the engine block.
