If you haven't done much dc electrical work, consider buying or checking out Nigel Calder's book "Boatowners Mechanical and Electrical Manual." Or Ed Sherman's "Power Boaters Guide to Electrical Systems."
I would add Charlie Wing's "Boatowner's Illustrated Electrical Handbook", Second Edition to the reading list. In addition to information on ABYC standards, wire sizing, and circuit design, it has a chapter on bonding that covers stray current, electrolysis, and lightning protection. I found it very informative and those topics weren't covered in Ed Sherman's book, which I bought first.
