Stray Current
IMPORTANT!
Leakage currents increase the consumption of catho-
dic protection on hulls and stemdrives, which can
cause severe corrosion in a short period of time.
Clean around the alternator regularly; see figure. For
boats with aluminum or carbon fiber hulls, it is impor-
tant to be extra vigilant so that the boat’s electrical sys-
tem remains undamaged and that stray currentscan-
not arise due to deposits of salt or dirt at the alternator
mountings.
An aluminum hull and stemdrive can quickly be dam-
aged by stray currents in the water and carbon fiber
hulls serve as good conductors of currents. Also refer
