    Bonding is one thing that I have to vote against. Specially bonding of
    non-connected through hulls. Have had the hanger bolts on my stuffing
    boxe sawn off by elctrolysis partially becuase when a problem developed
    they were bonded to the problem. You can bet that was rough when we are
    talking a 3" shaft diameter at the stuffing box! What I would invest in
    is a regular testing by a competent marine electrician. That person can
    go over your boat for electrolysis faults and other problems and avoid
    real pains and even tragedy. Note, a competent pro will come to your boat
    where it normally is berthed as it needs to be tested in the enviornment
    it lives in.
