Default Re: Electrolysis Preventer

Thx Again Mc.

Holy sh*t. Everyone should read that ! Electrolysis and galvanic corrosion are insidious. It is actually scarey how stainless steel in one scenario is very rust resistant and in another, not at all; for example: if you see your SS rusting or leaving rust stains anywhere - it is loosing it's battle to corrosion - and that's above the waterline. Under the waterline - it's insane.

Question for someone who knows - I'm wondering if I throw a zinc grouper overboard and connect that to my (-) battery terminal, will that act as a sort of bonding system ( assuming all my (-) wiring is grounded to a (-)buss bar or the (-) battery ?

With regard to the below point, has anyone ever added a "brush" to ride along their drive shaft that grounds out to the (-) battery terminal ?

" you definitely will need to bond that drive shaft to a good ground. "
