Battery isolator switches
A switch should be fitted in the positive lead to the
starter, as close to the battery as is convenient. The
switch should be suitable for a momentary current of
at least 950 Amps.
Zinc Anode bonding system
Caution: The engine may be damaged by electrolytic
corrosion if the correct bonding procedure is not
adopted. Please read the guidelines below carefully.
Electrolytic corrosion within the engine cooling system
and transmission can be much reduced or eliminated
by bonding the engine to a Zinc anode which is used
to protect through the hull metal fittings and other
metal components that are in contact with sea water.
The engine is fitted with a stud (figure 26 item 1) that
may be used for this purpose and is identified by a
label as shown in figure 27.
BOATBUILDER
Use this stud to connect the
engine to the Zinc Anode system
installed in the boat.
