Hi All,
Im about to start on through holes and anodes. Has anyone had any experience on the 3 hole plate in the photos? I can’t find any information online, im assuming they are for anodes but could be wrong.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hi
I don’t think it’s an anode but rather a ground plate.
It just confused me as the holes on starboard are mid-ship and as the picture shows port are at the bow 
. . .
Yes, this location is astonishing.
Boat owners sometimes make strange choices…
Maybe it was put in the bow as a lightning ground plate for the main mast on the cat ketch? It would be the shortest wire run. Is there a similar one near the Mizzen mast?
I think you got it, makes perfect sense now, i was looking to close and couldn’t see it, just needed someone to point it out. Thanks Stephen 
This doesn’t make sense to me.
The ground line connects the engine, masts, through-hull fittings, and I could be forgetting.
And so the ground plate can be placed just about anywhere you like, but I don’t think the bow is the best place.
