I've done marine radio work in the past...HF is s special art on boats requiring RF ground...VHF and radar are a snap....sometimes a copper plate is used as a protector to the hull and placed where it contacts the water ...providing similar protection like Zinc does on a tower section...it sacrifices itself to protect what's beneath...sometimes there is no ground connection to the hull and the entire radio system floats, so to speak, to prevent galvanic corrosion action.
