Electrolysis bonding question
I have a quick question and I don't have my texts handy:

When bonding thruhulls, is it advisable to use intermediate busbars when you've got a large boat? Say, near centerline located aft, mid and fore, - bond them each together to have a center bonding conductor, and then fan out from each to the nearest thruhull?

And what about tying it to the lightning bonding system? At a single point, or have them share the same center conductor?
