[PSUBS-MAILIST] grounding question

[brian]

Hi Alec,   Glad I asked this question, I wasn't totally clear on the grounding and suspected there was special wiring on an all metal boat.  So on your motors do you have a insulator between the motor shaft and the propeller shaft?  and is the motor itself isolated with the mounting hardware ?
What got me going on this was the grounding considerations for RF for transmitting radio communications.

Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] grounding questionHi Scott, If I understand you correctly, it sounds like you might have wired her as you would a car, with cables for the positive and using the chassis for the negative.
This is a steel boat, so instead of that, what one does is two cables, one for positive and one for negative, but both of them equally isolated from the hull. Else, you are inviting a case of accelerated corrosion.
 Best,

Hi All,
              On the K boats where does one normally connect the ground to the sub?
