E38 Lightning Ground Plate
Greetings all.. so I'm replacining the original DC and AC distro panels in my E38 and have a few questions.. Does the E38 have a lightning ground plate? Looking at the base of the mast I don't see any sort of heavy guage wires running to keel bolts or the likes..
Also, as far as grounding/bonding the DC panel what is a good point on the boat to attach that to? I have negative of the house bank connected to negative of the start bank... but is that the same thing as having a ground? Ground and the Negative terminal of the battery are two different things correct?
Have been looking through this article: http://www.sailmail.com/grounds.htm
Thanks for any insights..,
David
