I've recently replaced these wires Capt Perry was just talking about. I have a terminal strip near each rudder with bonding wires running thru-out. after about one month I have corrosion on the wire ends on the stuffing box on the port side only. I have the new wires on the starboard side same connections no corrosion, only on this one bolt. Is this just a bad connection or something deeper. John
