Just a thought for all you Amel Owners out there. I cleaned the bilge today for the first time on Wanderer and found about 6 inches of the ground strap missing. Bill Rouse has a great explanation of the replacement, just go to Photos and search for "bilge ground strap". I ordered a new copper bar from onlinemetals.com to fit the dimensions Bill gives for 1/8" x 48" copper bar. I haven't checked but I'll bet the copper in the bilge is copper "foil", somewhat thinner than 1/8".
