[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 325990, member: 6937"] As I mentioned about outboards with electric start, all bonding wires go to the engine block, which is in turn connected to the negative terminal of the battery. And you're correct about having everything bonded together, this eliminates the need to put an anode on every piece of metal below the water. Stray current is indeed a problem in marinas, but there can also be areas far away from shore power that seem to be 'hotter' than other areas, due to many factors, such as pH, salinity, certain types of sediment or algae, etc. Or even from stray metal in the water left over from old pilings, etc. [/QUOTE]
