    \n
  1. Connect the Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> foundation to vessel ground, as shown in Figure 8.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Install Cable 6 (10 AWG or 6 mm2<\/sup>, Customer supplied) from the M6 brass ground stud on the Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> rear brace to a suitable vessel ground.

    • EN\/IEC 90204-1 Clauses 6.3.3 and 8.2.3<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • ABYC E-11 July 2018 Clauses 11.5.2 and 11.16.1.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Ground connection should be made with vessel bonding system, if available. However, the ground is not referring specifically to a bonding system but for outboard boats generally refers to the outboard engine negative terminal. Per ABYC E-11 (2018), Clause 11.5.2.7.4: If the<\/em> negative side of the DC system is to be connected to the ground, the connection shall be made only<\/em> from the engine negative terminal, or its bus, to<\/em> the DC grounding bus. This connection shall be<\/em> used only as a means of maintaining the negative side of the circuit at ground potential and is not<\/em> to carry current under normal operating conditions.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • A proper ground connection is critically important for corrosion protection and helps to ensure the ignition protection of the unit by ensuring it does not carry any stray current.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
