Galley – The sink and countertop in the galley are made of
Staron 100% acrylic solid surface countertops. This product is
supplied by Samsung and comes with a 10 Year Limited
Warranty from the countertop manufacturer. The countertop is
resistant to chemicals, fungus and bacterial growth and heat.
It is practical and easy to maintain. If the surface is ever
scratched, it is easily repaired with a mild abrasive cleanser or
a light-duty kitchen-scrubbing pad. Staron is also nonporous
with smooth, impenetrable seams, so germs and dirt have
nowhere to accumulate.
For information on keeping your galley countertop looking like new, please refer to the Service and Care
section of this manual, visit the manufacturer’s website at www.staron.com or refer to the information in
your owner’s packet that was provided by the manufacturer of the countertop. As always, when in doubt,
defer to the information provided by the manufacturer (Staron / Samsung).

Galvanic Isolator
The galvanic isolator is located in the cabin, behind the
AC/DC panel.
Stray, low voltage current flowing between the AC safety
ground and DC bonding system is a principal cause of
“galvanic” action. This type of stray current will normally
overload your zinc anodes as they try to protect your boat
from other near by boats and/or metal objects of the
marina. Sacrificial zincs corrode away as they protect
metal thru hulls, shafts and props from damaging
galvanic corrosion and electrolysis.
Installing the galvanic isolator between the AC safety ground and DC bonding system interrupts the
galvanic circuit with other boats and the dock when your boat is plugged into a shore power system. It
also maintains an AC safety ground and solves the most common cause of corrosion. Corrosive action
on your zincs is significantly reduced while the integrity of the critical safety ground path is maintained.
This means a significant savings in boat haul out fees and zinc replacement costs.
The sacrificial zincs are located on the trim tabs and engines. The zincs should be checked periodically
and changed when needed.
