I was talking to the guy with his Nortic Tug at the dock next to me. He has his zinc fish hanging in back of his boat but grounded to the copper water line at the dock. Not attached to the ground wires in his boat. He said its pulling all the current away from around his boat so he is safe.
Mine is hanging near props and attached to the grounded wires that are running thru my boat. I was also thinking to attach my 1.5 inch shafts to the grounded wires with a clamp and wires. Not sure how well they contact the brass stuffing box that is grounded. I figure they have shaft zincs for a reason and my props dont have to move now for the next 8 weeks.
1. What method is better with zinc fish?
2. Should I clamp the shafts directly to the ground wires?
