Re: Hookup for Electric start on aluminum boat

Not from me Frank. Needless to say, one must be careful when wiring an aluminum boat because it could become a problem if there is stray positive current in the water. But, the same problem will occur on the lower unit of an outboard/stern drive if there is stray positive current, faulty shore power wiring/units can cause this as well.
Improper antifouling paint on an aluminum hull can cause a problem, due to dis similar metal corrosion, this will occur on outboard/stern drive gearcases as well.
I guess the only solution is to never launch the boat!
