When you put it in the water, take a crayon or magic marker. once you get the boat level, mark where the water actually sits. Haul it, let the hull dry, level the boat again on blocks, string a chalk line, snap it and begin painting the waterline about one inch or inch and a half above the crayon mark. Put it back into the water, load it up and see where the water mark is. You may have to adjust the water line with the boot top.
Try to be conservative. We dont want you sinking at the dock. LOL

The AT has a metal arm under tension with a carbon or copper pad riding on the shaft. The arm is tied into the bonding circuit.
I cannot endorse that but, it seems to work.
I cannot remember how the Norhavn shaft was bonded.
Remember to put a zinc on your shaft too.

Same as the American Tug 34. Something happened and I had to replace the propellor. Solution, second zinc on the shaft.
