What does it cost for a Marine Lightning Protection system?
Thomson: It depends. We sell Siedarc electrodes for $140 to $370 each, depending on how the cable is attached to each one. The typical installation uses six electrodes. The GStrip immersed grounding strip is $400, including an oversize copper connecting stud and installation hardware. All of our products are made of tinned copper. Much of the installation or retrofitting costs will depend on the size and complexity of the vessel as well as the existence of structures that could seriously compromise the system such as carbon fiber fittings, and those that can be used as a part of the system, such as handrails, arches, and bimini tops. For example, the six electrodes and one GStrip in John Henry cost about $2,300. An additional $800 in materials, such as cable, connectors, air terminals, and customized fittings was needed to complete the system, for a total of about $3,100 for hardware. Labor time and costs for installation vary widely from boat to boat and can be expected to be much hig
