Expert Reply:
On a boat you would want to ground docking lights # DL-16CC to the negative battery terminal. You will want the connections to be water tight as best as you can. Shrink tubing, electrical tape, and even liquid electrical tape # SWC50122 will help protect electrical connections from water. You can also use dielectric grease, # 11755, between electrical connections. This special grease is hydrophobic so it will repel moisture.
