I use a BABC Big ass buck converter.. My pi gets power from a pico usb hat soon to be changed..
The pico would be good but support and updates, bugs make it a pain. it also uses a lot of i2c addresses.
I was wishing that OP would come out with a powerhat. I will probably make a hat to safely just send 5 v to 5vpin and some code to a button to do a safe shutdown/reboot. I don't like the mini usb it seems flaky.. more feeling then proof
I bought a 12v hub but as jim said it might be an issue being cheap.
Buck converters can be noisy. I dont know about grounding it to the boat.. Lighting protection should be separate. I thought that only that should be sent to true ground.. The motor is a separate ground with an anode. I have had a Buck converter go nuts and meltdown in a electrical box... scary...
I heard some good news today Canada has finished its border wall in 21 days. It is amazing what a few thousand crazy Canucks can do with snow blowers and beer. But what do i know I sail out of the drunken river and our best landmark is the where the make crown royal. Strange but true..
