"I just picked up a 1990 fiberglass bay boat that has the green bonding wires for both the metal fuel fill and plastic tank terminate at the negative battery cable. The motor is a Johnson 150 OB, is this the path to ground thru the negative wiring?

Does this sound this correct?

"Wow. The boat is kept on a trailer but used in salt water and the motor is being eaten by electrolosis to the point the paint is flaking off the aluminum outdrive with powdery pits and the SS prop is pitted with dark brown stains.

One of the annodes was painted over, thus rendering it useless.

I've always been on inland fresh water, so this is my 1st experience in salt water.

Any thoughts?
