The engineers at Pro Marier recommend a separate charge lead for each battery regardless of their configuration. Think of it this way, the battery is, in effect, a resistor and probably a capacitor/inductor as well. However, the smart chargers can tell the difference. Two resistors in parallel...

That is most likely a galvanic isolator. Not a circuit breaker.

Be aware, that may not be a simple circuit breaker. It is more likely a galvanic isolator. Check it online to learn what they do.

Common problem with older actuators. Try to never run it to the stops. I lube mine with silicone spray. Access it from behind the cabin electrical panel, starboard side. I seem to remember there is a relay involved at the base of the actuator.

More detail? Model #? Cert date? Etc

I don’t believe those were factory options in 2004. Most likely added on by a previous owner.

Check the trim sender on the motor. They often stick. Depending on your motor and size as to where it will be located. Also that can be calibrated, but you’ll need the manual for the CL5.

I also cover the helm chair and cushions in the helm area with old sheets and remove the bolsters from the cockpit and store them in the cabin. It’s a quick way to prevent aging of the vinyl. The canvas is not airtight, but the humidity even inside the helm stays relatively low.

I close all of my canvas leave the cabin door open between the helm and the cabin and install a medium sized dehumidifier running continuously at 45% humidity draining into the sink along with a fan to move the air around. I open all of the bilge access panels in the cabin and doors and drawers...

There is really no electronics standardization between similar Grady-White models. Typically Grady does not install the electronics that is typically installed at the dealer prior to sale. A little more detail with regard to the type of antenna, size, etc. might get you a more accurate answer.

I can’t see your email in PayPal. All I see is “@richarddinka” Initially all I found was “@richdink” for a Rich Dinkel. I don’t understand how it works!
