Hey all, curious to hear input on this from fellow 424 owners and hear what setup you have. The previous owner installed all new beautiful bronze Perko through hulls shortly before he sold my boat to me.

During the survey, it was flagged that none of these new through hulls had been electrically bonded. The old bonding wire was just laying next to all the through hulls and had been cut and never re-attached.

I went over the whole boat with brand new 8GA wire and bonded every through hull to the motor and thus the negative ground on my electrical system. Now I’m hearing there are two schools of thought about whether to bond or not…

Do you all have your through hulls bonded?
