The commons are all connected together. Heres the senerio :
Boat A has a misconnected wire charging the boats system
neutral.............Boat A is plugged into the dock..........current
from boat A travels through neutral leg, which are tied together due
to code and into boat B shore cable..........hence into boat
B......through the bonding system..........through the
water.........back to boat A. Zincs from boat B are plated onto boat
A.

Hmm....while you're traveling from marina to marina....you could put a
little DC power supply between boat neutral and marina neutral, replating
your zincs and underwater appendages with noone the wiser overnight.....
Not an entirely bad concept!
Just kidding, guys. Pay no attention to that humming sound in our
bilge....(c;
