7.3.5 Earthing plates
- An earthing plate is a shot-peened plate mounted on the hull to recreate an earth neutral
point on the electrical circuit of the equipment supplying AC power Generator. The earthing
plate earths this equipment.
The earthing plate is not an anode: it must not be allowed to deteriorate.
- If it deteriorates, consult a professional immediately to determine the cause. As the earthing
plate is mounted across the hull below the waterline, if the earthing plate deteriorates the boat
is at risk of sinking.
- Never antifoul over the earthing plates.
