Howdy folks.
Great forum. I’ve been checking in for the last couple years, and trying to learn as much as I can.
So, I’ve got an aluminum hewescraft ocean pro 220. Like 24’6” LOA. I bought it in 2019. A year or two later they started adding a bonding wire. Currently mine doesn’t have one. From what I understand, apparently it’s best to have all negatives connected to a single bus and then a single bonding wire to the hull.
I’m in the process of installing a tzt3 16f, dff3d, fm4800, SCX20, and a drs2dnxt.
My question pertains to the grounding lug on the applicable units. In another thread it was recommended to have the installation isolated with zinc anodes, or better yet, a thru hull dyno-plate. So I guess my question is what is the best way to ground these units? Is the thru-hull dyno-plate isolated from the hull? Is there any literature covering this? I’m sure someone must be running an aluminum vessel with some similar equipment, I’d love to hear what you did.
Thanks
