A better question might be:
Do I really need it?

I'm not sure about the SVX, but I know my boat needs it/them.
I'll assume you don't take your SVX Swimming.

I beleive its just a electrolisys balancing thing, to keep the exhaust from corroding.
The muffler itself is stainless, and the rest of the exhaust system seems to rust happily enough. I'm not sure why there's a grounding strap on the exhaust, but I made sure to bolt it back on when I reassembled the exhaust a month ago.
