Might try a library with a good nautical section.
Out here on the left coast, there are several, such as Newport Beach.

Ahoy Al,
I understand the wisdom of connecting all the touchable metal parts of
electrical equipment to ship's earth so the bilge water and all touchable metal
parts will be at the same voltage as the earth and I do this on my vessel.
It is also a good idea to have a way to measure the ac vol
I have not heard from anyone but you. I think I will try Craigs List.

Skene's is a real classic.
It was out of print 20 years ago when I was looking for a copy.

Hi:
OK, in short I think there are two questions here:
1) Connect the onboard AC safety ground to the onboard DC Ground point:
Yes - always. There has been several articles over the years on people
dying when swimming around a faulty boat w/o this connection. ABYC requires
it. Some w
Rock Sound, Eleuthera to Georgetown, Exuma
When we last left you, I'd promised I'd tell you about Rock Sound. However,
that was based on weather at the time, which would have had us leaving to
Georgetown on Friday afternoon. We'd intended visiting the town on
Thursday, getting the lay of the land
Thanks to all who responded! There does not seem to a consensus in regard to
the AC ground. Any other (additional) discussion would certainly help to
educate me. I am concerned about an AC to DC connection however my fears may
be ungrounded (sorry I couldn't resist).
Thanks again for all the input.
It has been some time since we have had this discussion on the List, and I
don't dock, so my memory is a bit fuzzy about it.
I seem to recall that grounding the green conductor to boat ground
completes a loop with the other end being the green conductor connected to
earth ashore at the marina's
