[Rhodes22-list] Grounding

[Hank]

The panel itself doesn't connect to ground as it controls the positive side
of the circuit.  All of your electrical devices (lights, radio, etc) should
have a pair of wires with the positive side connecting to the panel and the
negative side connecting to a negative bus bar, which is then connected to
the negative side of the battery.

This website has a nice, simple description of boat wiring basics.
Scroll down and you can see how the system is built.

Stan is great at building boats, but he didn't usually follow marine best
practices on electrical wiring so you're likely to find that your boat is
not wired the same.
