Are the bronze thru-hulls and the stuffing boxes, rudder posts, shaft struts, etc suposed to grounded? and if so to what?
There is no grounding plate on this boat everything just grounds to the blocks and in turn to the negative of the battery.

From my research in getting ready to do a bonding system on my boat, 16 gauge wire is way too small and useless.
6 gauge is recommended or 8 at minimum.
Here is a link a guy on the downeast forum I've been watching & waiting for some 6 gauge to be listed.
