Hey all... Noob here.
Ok, here is the situation. I have a Santana 22 with no electrical
system (it know it did come with one, but that has long since left
the building).
My First question is: Do I need a ground on a DC system (other then
the negative side of the battery) ?
In my car the negative side of the battery is grounded to the frame
and/or engine block... I have neither on this boat. I do have 8 keel
bolts...
I do not plan on having an AC side (unless you count a trickle
charger I plan on installing to maintain the battery.
OH, trough hulls... I do have one, but it's the cockpit drain... and
I bet that would be a bad ground because of corrosion...
Any and all help would be great...
Thanks!
Jeff
