    Active Target 2 Ground wire question

    Why is there a separate ground wire on the AT module with the Phillips screw head? Then there is a second black ground wire in the power cord? Can both ground leads go directly to the battery ground, black wire of the Sea Clear wiring harness? Thanks

    Direct from the Install manual

    "Ground sonar module
    You can earth-ground the sonar module using the terminal on the top of the case. This
    terminal is DC isolated from power to eliminate the risk of galvanic corrosion."
