We are building a Double Eagle in timber. The Glen L instructions calls for a 1 sq.ft copper external grounding plate. can any one explain to me what its purpose is and why here in Australia, no fibre glass boats ( the Double Eagle is sheathed in fibre glass ), are fitted with such grounding plates.
