Are your seacocks bonded?

Post by **jms02050** » Mon Oct 05, 2015 9:22 pm

Upon haul out I noticed some greenish halos in the bottom paint around some of the seacocks. Been doing some research on the issue and found lots of info about bonding seacocks. The seacocks in question aren't bonded (head discharge, head supply, ac pump supply). Checked the owners manual and it states that each seacock is/should be bonded... But not all of mine are. Wondering if this is common on the 28 and if anyone else has dealt with the before?

All of mine on our 2001, 28TE are bonded; green #8 wire (I believe) throughout. (As are all the other metal components as well.)

Bit of a head-scratcher. I'll check all of mine tonight.

Upon further inspection, all of mine are bonded. 1 loose wire that's now secure...

After all my bonding wires made it to the ground strip it went nowhere. This is where I ran my added transom zinc to.
