George has given you good information and I agree with him that using a lighter plug for a high power transceiver is bad advice.
I'm pretty sure that is a pic from my install. That 2nd fuse panel is located on the passenger side and it has a single 4ga (IIRC) wire going to the second battery location, but it is physically attached to the primary battery. There is another fuse at the battery on the 4ga wire. Grounding is at the main ground point under the center console. I chose not to run pos & neg 12v wire directly to the battery.
An excellent source of information on how to minimize ignition noise is here: Ignition Notes on RFI. FYI, that site is well known as one of the best sources for information on mobile installs.
George,
You mention that you are installing the new 857 in the rear cubby. From your description, it doesn't sound like you ran separate pos & neg wires to the battery. Am I reading this correctly?
-B-

Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere. And sometimes in the middle of nowhere, you find yourself.
