While I'm certainly no expert on the topic, if you want to look into
grounding metal things on your boat you can do some Internet research on
"bonding." Very mixed opinions on this topic. My Nimble 30 has heavy copper
cables connecting the engine, all the through-hulls and the mast and
finally a metal plate on outside of the hull. The one on that boat is
called a "Dynaplate" which I think it's currently sold by Guest Marine. I
believe some of the goals of bonding include equalizing the galvanic
potential of all the through-hulls and the engine in order to
reduce/eliminate galvanic corrosion. I think if you have a short wave/SSB
radio on board you also need this type of "grounding."
