[QUOTE="InSaneFisherMan, post: 500020, member: 26281"] Probably disagree more with how it is said, than what is meant. A tin boat with no paint is at earth ground potential when in the water, even with motor up, mounts not touching the water, and no bonding to the hull. The motor and battery, since it is not in contact with the water is at 0v potential from - battery terminal. The motor, in this case is more positive in respect to the hull, because the hull is at earth ground potential. They may be at different potentials in respect to each other (This is why you bond at 250milli ohms), cause current flow, but the hull is still at earth ground potential, the ultimate 0V. [/QUOTE]
