Re: Running a generator on a boat?Thanks, Tom. My issue is the aluminium. It's a conductor, and I see issues tying a ground to a conductor floating in a conductor that people are standing on. In a past life, I used to fix boats. 12VDC, fiberglass boats. Ground never went beyond the engine block, and I never dealt with an AC gennie on one. I'm thinking there should be a ground, but I don't have enough copper kicking around to drive a rod in on shore and then drive up and down some reservoirs. :^) I'm just not sure how AC ground should be handled on an aluminium boat. I'll use The Internets and look in the direction you've pointed out.
