June 8th, 2017 – Electrical ground leakage
When boats have an issue with their grounding, it happens that the boat with the grounding issue uses its neighbor boat or boats for ground. This leads to that boat causing galvanic corrosion to take place on the neighbors boats. By testing the shore power to water and shore power to boat, we found out that our neighbors have minor leakage and that we have a little bit more. We are the "leakers". The bad boys, the corroders..... We found the faulty ground wire and are now the shining kids on the block.
