Narrowboat Hull Rust: Understanding the Risks and Solutions
Up to 90% of underwater pitting on boat metalwork can be attributed to galvanic corrosion, a real concern for boat owners. This type of corrosion leads to the deterioration of the metal, and can happen VERY quickly.
While good surface protection can play a crucial role in preventing this issue, any damage to the protective coating can expose the metal to the risk of corrosion. Once the coating is compromised, rust can begin to form underneath it, leading to even more extensive deterioration. This process can happen much more quickly than you might think, often catching boat owners off guard.
The Good News: Protecting Your Investment
Fortunately, there is a solution to this problem. When your boat is equipped with a galvanic isolator, galvanic currents are unable to travel through your electric hookup cable. This effectively stops corrosion from these harmful currents immediately, providing peace of mind for boat owners concerned about the integrity of their hulls, out boards etc.
Our galvanic isolators are not only highly effective but also affordable, making them a smart investment for any boat owner. The best part is that they are incredibly easy to install. You don’t need to be an expert or even own a screwdriver — our isolators simply plug into your electric hookup cable at whichever end is more convenient for you. This user-friendly design ensures that you can protect your boat from galvanic corrosion without the need for professional installation.
