Jay,
The last time we discussed this, I actually took a volt meter and measured  
22 volts. I took the measurement from the offending rail and grounded the  
negative end to the outboard which was in the water. The meter went to 22/23  
volts and then almost instantly disappeared. Waiting a few minutes produced the  
same results. Since our boats are all 12 volt systems with 110 volt thrown in  
occasionally, it ruled out any source within the boat. The amperage was really 
 low, so it was more of a nuisance shock than anything dangerous.

You are not the first to experience this!  Several  years ago, Carol Nixon of
Colorado had that very problem.  She does  not usually respond to this list
although she is still shown in the  digested listing.  

You might want to contact her to find out what  she did.  We referred to her
as lady with shocking Rhodes 22.

I  posted pictures of her and her boat last spring.
