You should not assume that your shaft and engine are isolated from each other just because you have the plastic coupler....there are bonding straps that are often used to bond through this coupler.
Usually one on each side of the coupling and often quite flush, so have a close look.
I still don't know what to do about the through-hulls either.

I was just saying that I'm not sure if the engine (grounded) is bonded to the shaft/prop or not. (Next time I'm nearby, I'll check it out. It is a PYI 4-bold 1 inch model, I believe) In any case, it is just one more way the bonding system could be incomplete.
