        \n
      1. EM\/IEC 60204-1 Clauses 6.3.3 and 8.2.3.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

        b. 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        c. NOTE: the ground is not referring specifically to a bonding system but for outboard boats generally refers to the outboard engine negative terminal, or its bus, to the DC grounding bus. This connection shall be used only as a means of maintaining the negative side of the circuit at ground potential and is not to carry current under normal operating conditions. See Figure 19.<\/p>\n\n\n
