It is called bonding the hull. Fr. Frank posted several
links to get them. The bigger the better. All metal objects,
IE: Grab rails, T-Tops, rod holders, cleats, etc, etc.
should have an insulated tin coated copper wire (I used 10
guage and a 8 inch bronze plate) attached to every screw
that goes to all of the above mentioned and tied to the bonding plate. It is a lot of work, but at least if I ever
get struck, my chances of survival have been greatly improved. The only thing is when moored and the water is
"Hot" which means someone has a leak in there electrical
system you can get electrolysis real quick. Take your time and do a little wiring at a time. You will be glad you did,if you ever get struck!!!!
See ya, Ken
