My marina replaced my bow pulpit and stem plate on Celtic Lady over the winter but I noticed a loose wire now that I am at the slip. I'm 99.9 percent sure is the thick ground wire in the anchor rode locker (forward of the v-berth) which runs to the keel, and it's is not attached to anything. I'm assuming it should be attached to one of the stem plate bolts/nuts since a lightning charge traveling down the forestay would then direct the charge to the ground wire at the bow and lead it to the bilge/keel.
Can someone tell me if I'm correct and where/how this wire should be connected? Thanks.
