    Voo-doo, I say. Of course you connect the negative to the motor. And yes the motor is connected to the boat. So???? Now there would be a problem if you were to dangle a positive wire in the water. But you weren’t planning on doing that, I don’t think. On the subject though is that you should resist the temptation to use the boat as a ground for lights and stuff. That’s just bad practice.

    OK, I expect to get some backlash on this, so have at it.
