Do I also need a grounding block to add this to a fiberglass boat?

Yes, you do. When I installed this in my Jeep, I used the body and other common ground points to complete my circuits. When using this in a fiberglass boat you would need to supply a ground point since this fuse block does not have one and your hull will not serve as a ground.

Yes. It has no ground post. All your circuits for this fuse block must be grounded elsewhere.

As long as you can ground it some how. You can mount it anywhere. If you put it on fiberglass, you will need to put a wire from the antenna to the frame to ground it.

The unit comes without a connecting plug, so I purchased a matching male plug to mate with the factory installed female plug on my boat. You can just install a couple of ring terminals to the two bare end wires, positive and ground and connect to the battery post studs. Minn Kota recommends you use a 60 amp circuit breaker on the positive battery connection, but my boat came with a 40 amp C/B and it does just fine for my application.

Yes the link Val posted is correct. You can find a grounding block at lowes, Menards, .... here. http://smile.amazon.com/CableWholesale-Single-2-5GHz-Grounding-200-278/dp/B00CLFGH40/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1406687178&sr=1-1&keywords=rg6+grounding+block What you do is connect the RG6 cable to it run a copper wire to it then to a ground point. Some examples of grounds would be metal gas piping on outide of house (you can buy a pipe clamp to connect dont drill into pipe), grounding rod, or copper water lines to name a few. Also make sure you have your tv connected to a surge protector power strip that is UL rated.

The unit comes with a ground terminal that should be connected to the frame of the generator. The manual suggests connecting this to a copper rod driven into the ground. I get around this by using the ground of a 3-prong wire and plugging it into an outlet (but my purpose is as backup power for the house during a storm).

I don't know land cable what it is. You mean grounding? That holes with screws are jus fix the front glass. There is O-ring under the glass. So you don't afraid water. But the screws not function as a whatever port.

Yes the mount plate should be grounded, thru mast, tower or if in or on a tree/fiberglass pole. use a ground wire to ground.

You seem to have all the components needed. That is exactly the same equipment I bought for a friend of my retirement gift. He is definitely not a "techy" and it was all "plug & play". In my experience 99% of all boating electrical problems are a faulty ground connection. Good luck.

Yes, you will have to run a ground wire (I used a 1/2" wide braded ground strap). There is a small hole in the mount to use for attaching the wire. I ran my ground wire directly to the frame. Hope this helps.

Drill a hole a little larger than the wire. make sure you use a good sealant on the wire. If your boat has two batterys hook it up to the deep cycle

The poles are mounted to the boat by plastic mounting assemblies, which are screwed into the appropriate areas. My boat is fiberglass so the mounting was not a problem.

you must run a ground cable from the control panel screw for gnd, to a ground rod which is in the ground beside the generator.

I believe this is the same setup.http://manuals.harborfreight.com/manuals/93000-93999/93575.pdf

Yes, the vehicle is grounded. you can connect the ground to any metal frame part. Use your meter to test ground spot. Remember to ground to a non painted area for best connection.

I would recommend a silicon sealer when installing this item; also my application through hull on my fiberglass boat was no problem; There is adequate allowance for the thickness of any vehicle auto or marine; Just make sure that the surface is not curved when the hole is drilled in order to avoid slippage and any potential leak.

Yes. If it is going to be buried I would make sure you use water proof wire nuts, heat shrink tubing or a liquid tape type product to protect the connection from possibly grounding out and corrosion.

The following link shows NEC requirements for antennae grounding if necessary due to motor noise or freqent lightning strikes. http://www.hdtvprimer.com/antennas/basics.html
