any boat yard or supply shop...their like 2"w x 6" L x 5/8" thick...get's screwed to the bottom of the hull then a ground wire goes from that to your fuse panel and all your gear is wired into that.....it's like the ground wire in your house that goes from your fuse panel to a rod that get's put into the ground....it suppose to give lighting somewhere to go in case you get hit..also give's you a better ground other than just using your battery.

BOAT fish do count.

Can the rain be so strong that you can't see two boats side by side on radar ??
Thank God know one was killed.

Thanks Capesams' we will have to check into that!!!

Striper1 I could see when I got to the river, there was a tremedous amount of lightning coming down and I just wanted to get her back to the dock and get everyone safely off the water.

Are you kidding me, all those ferry boats worry about is being at the dock on time, they blow by people all the time, not surprised that this happened, glad everybody is OK. They all most run us down in the fog in our old boat a couple of years back.
