I have seen guys run a grounding wire of some sort from the side of a Jack-plate to somewehere? not sure what it was for?
Bryan, I mean, why would Teleflex develop a part if it wasn't occurring?...http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/us ... ?pid=63771
In theory, all the external parts connected to the engine should achieve a ground path through the engine, ultimately the zinc. But here in west central Florida, it seems jack plates and cylinders can suffer some abnormal electrolysis effects, and I'm not sure of the reason why. If all is installed properly, the engine zincs should absorb all the ill effects, sacrificing themselves for the betterment of the other components. But at times, the components themselves are being sacrificed rather than the zincs. Really doesn't make sense from an electrical standpoint, but it happens.

If you have a bronze pickup for raw water is there anything wrong with connecting grounds to this? I know my pickup has a ground wire to it.
