Are any of you familiar with this system for monitoring and eleimnating/reducing the issue of electrolysis to an acceptable level.
The theory for the system is based on Kelvin'sAbsolute Law.
When the battery 0 volts (actually at minus 12 volts), is connected to hull or engine, electrons, as they are negatively charged, are repelled from your metal and attracted to the positive 1 point 2 volts of the Earth causing electrolysis capable current.
The system requires you to fully isolate your boat electrics from any metal wetted surface. In the case of the engine you need to install an isolator for the negative as well as the positive So it can be fully isolated after use.
I was thinking of going through my boat to see what connections there are to the hull and also back to shore power supplies. Having a 240Vac system on the boat as well as a permanent inverter and battery chargers should make the exercise interesting.
If the Seabis system is set up correctly it alleviates the need for a galvanic isolator on the earth conductor for your shore power connection.
