Default Lightning Protection questions

s the standard metal rod VHF antenna at the top of the mast with the
typical metal can on a bracket riveted to the mast a sufficient air
terminal or should I add a dedicated rod?

I have no illusions about having any electronics working after a

wouldn't break me financially. I'd just like to be alive with a
working engine and watertight boat.
