I am doing a complete rebuild of a 1986 Outrage 18. Rather than replace the thru hull ground wire and transom mounted zinc, I plan to bond the fuel tank fittings to the engine ground itself. I can't think of any reason this won't work. The zinc on the engine is far larger than the original and it eliminates another hole in the transom. Can anyone see a reason NOT to do this?

1986 Outrage 18
Boston Whaler eliminated the transom anode in the late 1980's or early 1990's and replaced it with a simple bonding system. It consists of a heavy gauge green wire connected to the fuel tank, fuel filler and battery negative.
