Dynaplate / Grounding Bar

[Mike McDonald]

Hi Everyone,
Back with another question.  I just replaced the old Dynaplate on my boat.  The old one had been painted over.  When I followed the grounding wire, I found that nothing was connected at the other end.  The wire appeared to have three connections in the hanging locker between the nav station and the head, but they had been disconnected by a previous owner.  What components are normally grounded to the Dynaplate?  I assume everything is grounded to the engine at this point.  I would appreciate everyone's thoughts on this.  I also have another problem to post, but will do it separately.  Thanks.
Mike.....

It's my understanding that dynaplates are an add on accessory that are usually added when installing a SSB radio and for lightning protection.
