electric tounge jack
installing a elec tounge jack,noticed that there is only 1 wire that I connect to the positive on the battery, How do I groung it? do I just use the washers provided? is that enough?(just the washers to the a frame?)

- That pretty much does it.
- It's probably a star washer that will dig through the frame paint to bare metal.
You can also scrape a little bit of the paint away under the washer if you want to be double sure that it is making bare metal contact and grounding. - remember put a inline fuse on that wire.

Exactly how I did mine.- Sand/scratch both contact points until you have bare metal for best contact. Welcome to the wonderful world of electric tongue jacks. They should be standard equipment, in my mind.

Same for me.
Pat- Save trouble in the future and paint over the ground to prevent rust.

How big would you suggest?- It's probably internally grounded. Mine came with a 30amp slow burn inline fuse.
- My Barker came with an inline fuse.
