DISSAPATORS-FEEL GOOD OR REAL GOOD

[David M]

I was thinking that maybe it might work to ground all your shrouds, stays and mast to a common point at ground...like a lead keel or a metal plate exposed to the Earth (touching the water). This might act somewhat as a Faraday cage and reduce the chances of lighting doing damage to your electrical system? Just an idea.

The PO put one of those things on my mast, been hit once that I can prove and pretty sure a second time (fried a radio while I was gone). but we live in florida so that's SOP

snake oil IMHO
