The age old question and argument over bonding v. grounding v.
lightning protection.
I have a 3"X8" sintered
bronze dynplate on the
hull exterior. Used to be an old defunct
SSB on board. No longer. Coastal US cruising only at this point. All DC returns to a common dc buss and finally the
engine block. Through
hull and other bonding was tied into the dynaplate(?) as well as a
lighting bond from the
mast and then all tied into the dc neg buss.
I would greatly appreciate any new thinking on this confusing question.
Ditch the dynaplate? Find a
lightning ground plate for the
mast and keep it isolated?
No hot marina here, residing on a
mooring, fairly hot river. What are you all doing out there?
Thanks for any input!!
