[QUOTE="MDCrappie, post: 500017, member: 160"] Exactly how it should be. Now if the motor (which is grounded) is not "bonded" with the hull then the potential for the hull to become positive IS there. Once the hull is positive and the motor is grounded the current will flow thru the water and eat away at the aluminum where it touches the water. The hull WILL become the anode. Now if the hull is bonded to the motor (which is grounded) this will never happen because as soon as the positive wire contacts the hull the fuse will blow breaking the circuit. [/QUOTE]
