[Rhodes22-list] advice on ground for battery

[ed kroposki]

Lou,
	Wasn't your boat sailed on LIS before you got it?  I thought that
the water on the sound was salty.  So for how many years was your boat
sailed under conditions similar to what you plan without a lightning strike.
So now you are going to try to improve the chances of a hit?  Put this
project off until you have sailed the boat for a season.  Quit fretting over
the things that just are not going to happen.

  Rik,
  with so much of my interior being fixed and ripped up it just makes 
sense to go ahead and do the HD wiring as per the PS article which 
confers with Casey's book on electronics.
  thanks
  sail safe
