Your boat is equipped with a comprehensive metallic
bonding system that interconnects all underwater
equipment and thru-hull fittings. The bonding system
ensures that the “cases” of all metallic equipment
onboard your boat, including the fittings, are at the
same electrical potential. This minimizes corrosion of
the underwater fittings caused by stray electrical cur-
rents.
Included within this bonding system are sacrificial zinc
anodes that have been installed on each of the boat's
propeller shafts and onto the underwater portion of the
boat's transom. These anodes corrode and deteriorate
before the boat's underwater fittings and provide a
visual reference to the level of stray current to which
your boat is being exposed.
Your boat's 12 volt DC electrical system, AC electrical
system, and the batteries’ negative leads are all con-
nected to the bonding system through buss bars. The
buss bars are located in the engine and aft bilge com-
partments and are connected to the transom-mounted
zinc plate.
Do not tamper with or modify the boat's bonding
system. Doing so could threaten the integrity of the
system.
Monitor the condition of your boat's zinc anodes.
Replace the zinc anodes when they have deteriorated
to 50% of their original size. Do not allow the zinc
anodes to completely deteriorate. Refer to the "Mainte-
nance Schedule" portion of Section 7 for recom-
mended inspection intervals.
NOTE: Damage resulting from stray current or galvanic
corrosion is NOT covered under the Carver limited
warranty.
