Laying Up This Winter? Protect Your Boat in Seconds
If you’re leaving your boat over winter, keeping it plugged into shore power can be a sensible way to keep the batteries charged etc. But that same shore-power connection can also allow galvanic currents to travel through the earth connection, potentially causing corrosion to underwater metalwork, props and – on steel boats – even the hull.
These small electrical currents work slowly but relentlessly, and the resulting corrosion damage can be expensive to put right. A circuit breaker will not stop galvanic currents: you need galvanic isolation between your boat and the shore supply.
The Best solution
You want to protect your boat, but perhaps you haven’t got the time, tools or electrical know-how to fit a conventional galvanic isolator.
That is exactly why our plug-in galvanic isolator is so simple. It fits into your electric hook-up lead in seconds—there are no tools, wiring or electrical skills required.
In fact, we considered writing a 1–2–3 fitting guide, but there is really only one step:
Plug it in.
The isolator breaks the galvanic connection between the boat and shore power while allowing the normal AC supply to continue to your boat. That helps prevent damaging galvanic corrosion currents from reaching your hull, propeller and other underwater metalwork.
Extra protection included
Every one of our galvanic isolators includes an AC bypass capacitor as standard—an extra layer of protection for your boat.
They are fully guaranteed too. And if, for any reason, you find you cannot fit yours, we will give you your money back. It’s as simple as that.
So you can leave your boat connected over autumn and winter with greater peace of mind—knowing galvanic currents will not be quietly corroding your boat while you are away.
