Ahhh... Interesting that last Sunday I finally pulled out a 50 amp, old, very
heavy battery charger because it not only took about the same space as a
battery, but hummed constantly. Turns out it weighed about as much as a
battery too! A prior owner had put in a ProSport 12, but it was simply
miswired, so I properly connected that to the starter battery and ran a
Proportion 20, run to the house bank.
Thanks!

actually that is way too big for a galvanic isolator. But it is about the
correct value for a ferro-resonant battery charger; notice the AC rating. The
charger uses a synchronous loop (L & C, tuned to 60Hz) to keep the supply
voltage fairly constant. The charger part just uses a diode bridge, no
regulation.
I'm afraid it will not make your boat sail faster, actually those weigh a ton
so probably want to go with the modern semiconductor based version. ;-)

Hi All,
Back
on earth, gear heads who read practical science, could
engineer all kinds of things themselves. I’m guessing a
galvanic isolator was planned, and like many projects never
quiet finished. Then the lawyers out numbered the
engineers, lots of paper work ensued, and surveyors wanted
monitors or some kind of fail-safe device to save us all.
Occasionally the surveyors would tell stories of kids and
moms electrocuted just off the boat, usually in fresh water.
So now the boats are too expensive for mortals to work on
the boat, and they sit in harbors while, the owners work to
pay for the marketing. . .
Clearly time for me to get off the
dock. . .

Chuck,
Hilarious — and kudos to anyone who

no matter where you go, there you are.
No
flux capacitors on my boat — we go back in time by

sun.
Seriously — we do have a warp core

Nah! It's a flux capacitor and it's
used for time travel. It allows you to sail your boat
"Back to the Future".
