International bonding system

[BobCT]

I don't see any bonding references on the factory hull diagram. Is there another schematic or were they not factory installed?

When I got my boat I replaced all the connectors but didn't make any changes. I just realized that one engine ground wire is tied into the bonding circuit and one is not. I'd like to double check everything if a wiring schematic exists. For starters, I think the engine grounds should go to the DC busbar behind the battery box and not ultimately the transom zinc.

Thanks

I am the second owner of my 10 Meter International Express Cruiser - 1983

I have no such schematic, probably does not exist.

The original owner for some reason cut/removed all the wires in the bonding system.

I have restored it WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE THRUHULLS & SEACOCKS.

I would recommend that you check and address your swim platform attaching points, as these are in the water as well.

i've never seen one for the 10 meters. I bought a spool of 8ga green wire to redo mine but haven't got there yet.

RWS, Why not bond to the through hulls? Mine are currently attached to the bonding system. I need to rerplace a few wires and connectors this year

I guess mine was added along the way. I'll post a diagram of mine in the next week or so. Both of our cars are down so I'm tied up my garage for now
