There is a copper plate molded into the hull below the waterline. It's clearly marked "Do Not Paint," so I assumed it was to function as some sort of an earth ground (OK, water ground.) Yesterday I noticed there isn't anything attached to the two bolts/terminals that hold it in. What is supposed to be grounded to this plate, the battery or the mast? I'm told it's best NOT to have both connected together in any way. I'm fairly handy with electrical, but any help would be appreciated. |
