7. Galvanic Isolator (optional)
The AC system is equipped with a galvanic isolator, which blocks low voltage DC on the shore power
ground wire.
The galvanic isolator prevents dockside voltages from damaging metal parts on the boat that come in
contact with the water. The galvanic isolator will also safely conduct high currents to ground in the
event of a short circuit or power leakage on your boat. Refer to the manufacturer’s manual in your
owners manual packet for complete instructions and warranty on the galvanic isolator.

Under normal conditions, the zincs on the boat should last

the zincs occur, a problem exists within the system, and
should be corrected immediately.
