Datamarine ground?

[Triskele]

Does anyone know what this is and what it does (see pic)? I presume it is a ground for electronics, but not sure. Can it be painted with ablative? Was painted when boat was hauled.

Replace it. Its a dynaplate and is a porous plate to increase surface area with the water. They do not get painted.




Its a ground for radios and other electronics.

Replace it with a new dynaplate and never ever paint it.

Good explanation of dynaplate. Confirms info from others posts. Question? Should this plate be bedded with marine sealant? 4200 okay?
