So a question from a boat owner. I am having a steelboat, which i assueme is a bit diffrent from the plastic boat. So my DC side there is 0 ohms between the dc negative and the hull. Furthermore there is 0 ohms between the engine and hull. and there is installed a negative switch between the battery and engine, to disconnect when not in use. Also there is installed a tester for boat the plus and minus dc to make sure the system is floating. On the ac side a have an isolation transformer installed, and the earth is coonected to the hull and the neutral and earth is coupled together at the isolation transformer My engine does not have an zink installed from the factory, and since my engine/dc side is not connected to the hull, where the zinc is bolted to, i think it makes an issue here. Would it work to install a second seawatercheast, take out the filter, drill a hole connect a wire though it, seal it, connect the wire to the engine, and then insde this second seawatercheast add zinc to the wire to protect the engine? Also i know i the bigger steelships we use copper and aluminium in the seacheast and then run some time of power thugh it, is that something you guys have an understading of
Amazing. Thank you
