Ground points - Bavaria 38 Cruiser 2007

Hi,

I'm looking for ground points / ground plate in my new-bought Bavaria 38 Cruiser from 2007.

In manual only ground spot is... the engine. I don't think it is enough for the boat. Especially I'm planing to rebuild electrical installation by adding solar panels (600W), lifepo4 batteries (600Ah), new alternator (320amp) and inverter (3000W).

Do I need to add some ground plate to my boat?
Or maybe should I connect ground to the keel?

Thanks!
Tom

all of that new gear goes to the battery neg, put a big neg bus bar near the battery. there is no need to "ground" any of it to the water.
