It's probably internally grounded. Mine came with a 30amp slow burn inline fuse.

How big would you suggest?

Save trouble in the future and paint over the ground to prevent rust.

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.

Exactly how I did mine.

Same for me.

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.

That pretty much does it.
