- 1990 Harkers Island Trawler Typical wooden hull with a Carolina flare and no deadrise at the stern
When we gutted the old trawler it was a electrical mess, All new A/C wire and all new D/C Now i was looking at the ABYC and NMMA standards and they are different from what i am being told. A/C ground Not netural but the Ground , I am reading this needs to be hooked to the D/C ground ? Also on the bottom of the boat i have about a 12X12 plate with a Zinc the one through bolt had a wire that had broken at some point . What and where should this have been hooked, I have a SSB radio and there is loads of ways to bond the ground for a ground plane for it, From the plate under the boat all the way to hooking the stainless toe rail using it as a bond/ground plane ! Any pratical information that worked for anyone would be Great as i am pretty overloaded with conflicting information at this point.
