I began my winter project list on the 506 today. I have five weeks off and have a nice list of things to take care of over winter break.
I replaced the engine anodes and did a general visual condition inspection. I noticed several green bonding wires attached the to the engine blocks, a little surface corrosion so put that on the list of things to do to clean up and treat. I moved on to the 21 KW Kohler Generator to replace the anode in the heat exchanger and could not locate one. I looked in the parts book for the generator and found none listed. Seems odd. I then looked for a bonding wire to determine it's condition and also found no green bonding wire. There is one on the thru hull to the generator but non on the generator itself. There is a lug on the engine mount that looks like an ideal place to have a bonding wire but I am wondering if there is a good reason there is non installed. I noticed also there is no bonding wire to the bow thruster either. Am I missing something?
