[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 500006, member: 21536"] Admittedly, my knowledge is very limited, so I'm kind of sticking my neck out here - Lol. If we are talking about the outboard creating a bond to the hull as opposed to grounding the battery to the hull, then I think we are saying the same thing. Otherwise everything I read says not to ground the battery (-) to the hull on an aluminum boat. Neither of the aluminum boats I've owned did this. Same is true of my trolling motor battery. It is a free floating system with no direct connection from the battery (-) to the hull. I guess my question is if it were a best practice, then why isn't it commonly done. [/QUOTE]
