    I have had enough winter and snow in N J.

    seriously, there is no way to have a rational conversion with these "types". making passive/aggressive comments that imply that my country is so evil that "they" would never step in here? Yet out of the other side of their mouth they commend the 10+ million illegals that were allowed in...

    Less people in box stores.

    double edge sword. I lament the fact that box stores are dwindling. Yeah, I miss my Sears, seriously, I do. But crowds, waiting lines...traffic, .parking....throw in inclement weather.....people....can be a hassle. Went to a Boscov's to check out a piece of jewelry for xmas. The clerk was less...

    I have had enough winter and snow in N J.

    eh, for me it's just that I'm no couch potato and when warm "hits" for the season I'm always out doing, fix'n something. Winter hits and I'm forced to do things in the cold, even though I try to prep for winter with prior maintenance. Inevitably I'm forced to move cars around in ice and snow to...

    I have had enough winter and snow in N J.

    the definition of "good" is irrelevant without the existence of "bad". that first 70+ degree day of the new year is great. days start getting longer Dec. 22.🌞

    Proper Boat Grounding

    it's understood.....there's ground....and then there is grounding.....and "paths" (circuits)...and negatives (neutrals), and positives...and bonding. However...my boat does not have to be in the water for my powered devices to work. So it does not have to be "grounded" through the...

    Proper Boat Grounding

    but my neutral and ground bars are bonded in my home panel...required..if you have a sub-panel it is not to be bonded internally. My home did not have the grounding rods as back in the day, they "grounded" to water pipes. I fixed that. And the rods are connected to the ground in the panel. So my...

    Proper Boat Grounding

    I dislike trouble shooting circuits because you can't see electricity. to scott: my toons have no bonding wire as such. Should there be?...or is the transom/ motor connection the "bonding".

    Proper Boat Grounding

    so all grounding wires on my pontoon meet on an isolated buss bar, which is connected to my battery, which is connected to the motor. if I'm wrong, speak up.

    Proper Boat Grounding

    yep confusing......so, this is my common man explanation...pontoon. 12v DC All powered equipment sends current out of itself when on. This current is negative (ground). This current needs to meet either at a grounding isolated buss bar or directly to the negative battery post or to the engine...

    Proper Boat Grounding

    i understand bonding. so there is continuity between my toons and the prop/shaft, but all grounds (black/green) should connect to a ground bar ( I installed) on a non conductive surface which is connected to bat- , which is earth grounded by my motor/toons. to airshot : I believe this is how it...

    Proper Boat Grounding

    I read it and again, and now it's more involved. If dingbat is right then my pontoon is shedding electrons through my aluminum toons. Not good according to you and I agree. But is my motor a ground source to the water/earth?....so its not a floating ground?.....
