Mark the relays, write what those relays are right on the wall next to the relay.

Colin - I would highly recommend listening to On The Wind episode #290 "Lightning Strikes Offshore". Listen to a physicist explain what attracts lightning. There are things you can do to tamp down the electron signature that makes your mast attractive to lightning.

Most likely a natural swarm of bees. Just wait then out, they will leave.

CAN you disconnect and put your nav electronics in a metal box while not in use, seems the only way to really reduce* harm.
None designed to be readily removed?

There is a story of a person who was hit by lightning, who was wearing a walkman, apparently the bolt went from his head area down the wires to about his knee then blew to ground. It seems the very very thin walkman headset wires saved him from major injury.

I would definitely have much more cable in the water perhaps 30 ft or so. Nothing to lose in trying it.

Can you reduce lightning strike damage with a carbon fiber mast?

Hi Colin, the battery cable you've dropped into the water may help electric charges to dissipate from the mast to the water. That may help a potential lightning to find a better way than going thru the boat following electric wires.
On another hand, considering the incredible voltages involved, there is absolutely no way any wire insulation could prevent a lightning to hit the copper of this wire and destroys the system it is connected to. But that may help limiting the damages yes.
Lightning rods on buildings are built on the same purpose after all : they "help" lightnings to follow a safe path.

I would have connected a heavy cable to the shrouds and then the water also. Even though it might be like a fly trying to minimize the damage of a baseball bat coming down on his head…. Not going to do much. But, it's worth a shot and we all know what doing nothing equates to. Good luck

Whenever you don’t need the navigation aids and electronics, disconnect them from their power supply.
