Just a little more explanation, use #8 Green TINED wire. The best way is to run separate wires to each piece of equipment that needs to be bonded. If you have a doubt if it needs to be bonded, bond it.
All the wires then goes to a terminal block or several terminal bocks that ties into your house bonding plate. Do not use just one wire connected to a fitting and then going to another fitting. If there is a brake in any of the connections, you loose all protection from the brake on, bad, bad. You will use a lot of wire but you will be fully protected. Use a GOOD crimping tool, not the $4.95 crimper special. Also use Marine terminal ends not cheep automotive ones. You can buy them in bulk to save money. You will use a lot of terminal ends if you are re-wiring the bonding system on your boat. That's all folks, Capt.

Does anybody have a drawing on the bonding? Before we bought the boat and over the years wires have come off thru hulls, rudder post, strut plates and we are noticing electrolysis starting to development. Any help would be apprecaited.
