Subject: Re: [electricboats] Grounding.My understanding of this area is rudimentary, but I believe the goal is to eventually connect the ground to the bonding system that probably connects most of your brass or bronze through-hulls to your sacrificial anodes. I attached mine to a nut at the base of one of the through-hulls.The article discusses in more detail and I'm not sure I've yet arrived at the correct solution for my boat and plan to double-check everything at the next opportunity.
