anything in particular I should be looking for?

Does your boat have a grounding strip or buss? Did you pull out an
existing radio? If so, reuse the same groung location. If all else
fails, the engine contacts the water through
the shaft, etc.

I don't know if it does. What does a particular grounding strip or
buss look like? I didn't pull out an existing radio, I actually
created a (rather big) glove compartment in which I have mounted the
radio.

Run it from the negative side of the battery, then connect it to the black
ground wire of the radio and also to the metal chassis of the radio. Maybe
the radio chassis has to be grounded as well?
