There is no certainty of a good electrical connection from the shrouds to underwater metal. Joe

My C&C30-1 is seldom connected to shore power and is run for about half an hour a week (out to the race course and back), so I don’t use one.

Some people swear by them and others think it’s a wasted effort. What does the group think? Is it worthwhile to add (especially when on shore power) and, if so, where do you connect it on the boat?
