Greetings:
Has anyone had any experience with lightning protection systems for sailboats?  Having suffered a bad strike 18 months ago, I know first hand what the damage was.  We lost all electronics, some electrical components, engine ECMs, alternators, batteries, starter motors......and the list goes on.  I recently came across a device called the CMCE Lightning Supressor.  Heres a link to the product:

I am interested to know if anyone has experience with this or other devices, or any direct knowledge as to whether such devives are beneficial

Thanks

Neil M - thaks for the anecdote.  Yes, I am also an engineer and have done a lot of work in the SE USA on a variety of projects including power generation.  I have reached out to a couple of my past clients to see if they have an "expert" on protection and so far it seems that its very much "rule of thumb" and difficult (if not impossible) to quantify the benefits.
As I get more information, I will try to post a summary of my thoughts, findings, and path forward.  But please expect that to be a few weeks out.
