the wire was run to the back of the boat in the bilge. i wonder if they connected it at one time to the neg terminal of the battery. it sounds like it would be better to connect it to the Negative side of my electrical panel which is under my center console ? is that acceptable.

probably hooked to an engine mounting bolt, or if you have a threaded drain plug, to one of the screws holding the drain plug housing, the idea is to have anything that touches water grounded to each other, not a big issue for a trailer boat, but if you leave it in the water, it can prevent electrolysis
