Table 7-2 – Electrical Load per Device
As detailed in Table 7-2 , appliances using a motor or
a heating element will draw a relatively large amount of
current. Exercise caution when using appliances such as
curling irons, toasters, coffee makers, hair dryers, food
mixers, or similar types of AC-powered devices.
Never use too many motor-operated appliances at the
same time.
BONDING SYSTEM
Never modify the yacht’s bonding system.
The system’s integrity is weakened by making
modifications.
DANGER
!
A comprehensive metallic bonding system that
interconnects all metallic underwater equipment and
thru-hull fittings is equipped on each model. The
bonding system ensures that all metallic equipment
onboard, including the fittings, have the same electrical
potential. The bonding system minimizes corrosion of the
underwater fittings caused by stray electrical currents.
Sacrificial zinc anodes are components on the propeller
shafts and on the trim tabs. The anodes corrode and
deteriorate before the yacht’s underwater fittings. The
sacrificial zinc anodes protect the underwater metal
components from galvanic corrosion, as well as stray
current corrosion.
The yacht’s 12-volt DC ground electrical system is
connected to the bonding system through bus bars.
Monitor the condition of the yacht’s zinc anodes. Replace
the zinc anodes when they have deteriorated to 30%
of the original size. Never allow the zinc anodes to
completely deteriorate. See
“Maintenance Schedule”
on page 151
for recommended inspection intervals.
OTEE: N Damage resulting from stray current or
galvanic corrosion is NOT covered under
the limited warranty.
