I would second Graham's comments.  We sailed with our kids, one whom was severely disabled.  I learned that a sailboat has lots of places to hang an IV, and that we could still have a lot of really good family times sailing and cruising.  Racing was out for a bit. My daughter started sailing 6

Chris, I've never seen a prop shaft grounded like that! I'm guessing it was someones amateur attempt to solve a problem that was unsuccessful. Is the boat connected to shore power? Often the problem is a difference in potential between the ground wire coming from the dock and the water
