Chris, that's the first time I've heard that "The mast, stays, shrouds and
pulpits are bonded to the grounding system."  I've been all over #62's
electrical wiring and haven't found any way that the standing rigging is
connected to the ship ground. Perhaps this approach was added in later
models.

Sunshine,

Look in the aft lockers. The speaker wires terminate there. Catalina did not
run them any further. My suspicion is that someone ether used one of them to
wire a cockpit light or mistakently hooked them up to something.

One other thing. The mast, stays, shrouds and pulpits are bonded to the
grounding system. Therefore, any short running to ground will read off of
them to any other ground.
