Bennett,I am not sure about connecting to metal on the boat. The boats "bonding" is different from the safety ground of the electrical system. The "bonding" of the metal parts of a boat serves to reduce potential differences which cause electrolysis. The dc system is grounded at the battery. A boat genset should float the ground on the ac system except when it is connected to shore power.At least that is what I remember from my days working on bigger boats.
