James Cromie #40373 Thank you for your input and experience. I waS also not originally planning to bond the frame. Your points about the other metallic fixtures are good. However, I wonder about how this situation may be different considering the arch is holding a high voltage system. My feeling is it should not matter as long as the solar power circuit “-“ is well insulated from the housing. What about the potential risk related to lightening? Is this at all relevant? Pardon my ignorance! James toggle quoted messageShow quoted text On Jun 26, 2018, at 3:42 AM, divanz620@... [amelyachtowners] <amelyachtowners@...> wrote: Interesting.... We have a stainless arch with solar panels and a wind generator on a separate mount, but none of this framework is connected to the bonding system. I'm not sure that this is necessary. None of the other stainless structures on the boat are connected to the bonding system. The masts and rigging aren't, neither are the rails around the boat, nor the bow roller fitments. I'd be interested to know what others think about this Olivier ? Bill R ? Bill K? Cheers Alan Elyse SM437
