[QUOTE="MDCrappie, post: 499997, member: 160"] I'm not talking of using the hull as a ground. I'm against that too. ALWAYS run the negative part of every circuit back to the battery using wire, never "using" the hull. But grounding, or I think more correctly "bonding" the hull is a good idea. LDUBS = what "purposely connecting the negative to the hull" on a properly wired boat will do is prevent the boat itself from becoming the "positive" in a circuit with the outboard, which with an electric start one we know is directly connected to the negative.
