its all good . thats why i started a new thread because everyone i read through devolved into technical jargon thats above my paygrade. I got some precise answers at the start from PaulR so ive gone with that. While i was fitting the earth last night i noticed another earth, was just a wire cable tied to the side of a seacock, not someones best work haha. I followed it back and it ran into a 12v alarm system., no idea why.I dont disagree...that's why I said 'maybe' because I cant be sure they all are. It makes sense that they are and no doubt regulations insist, but ...
Sorry about all this @adhdan but it's all part of the fun.
The shore power consumer unit fitted in the boat is all earthed back through the shore power cable with no earth connection to the boat ...should i connect this earth to the boat earth? it runs 4 double sockets & a water heater
