Now I have heard this advice before and I am puzzled as to why this is having always been taught to have a single earth point. Take the following example, if I have the 12v neutral line from the battery bonded to a hull using a bolt through the engine bearers, what difference does it make connecting the earth for the 240v system on the same bolt or putting a new one in next to it? There must be a good reason but I can't see what it is..... George "Bungle" Eycott
