Steve — the “fail-safe” versions of galvanic isolators are also ABYC-approved, and don’t require the remote panel. There’s a company up in our neck of the woods that started out making electrical equipment for dairy farms; they realized that their ground isolation products would also work well

Since we're on topic. It seems that there is a bit of differing opinions on bonding the under water metals. What are the shaft and prop zincs protecting? If a shaft coupling isolator were installed and no bonding wire attached then the chance of stray galvanic currents is eliminated. Right?

I understand the need for a failsafe mode. However if there is no indicator light how would you ever know it failed unless you put a meter on it and tested it periodically? On Wednesday, October 28, 2015, Josh Muckley via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Since we're on topic. It seems
