Its on a 1963 roamer 36ft, system just quit about a week ago. Anyone know where the hull contacts are located or common problems , its about impossible to follow wires through the boat. Is there a replacement for it. Thanks
just had the bottom repainted, wonder if that has something to do with it. Its a steel hull. I believe its a model 34640
If the cathode on the bottom of your vessel was painted over than yes, that would be a problem. This cathode will look like an 6" - 8" or so flat saucer with a round metallic disk inset into the center. The disk has to be in direct contact with H-2/0.
Got it CR ! Thank you. It’s not a relevant thing to have on a fiberglass boat of any size I assume ? Or boat material doesn’t matter ?
Not for FRP hulls. Bronze and Stainless with a few zincs still dominate metal protection here. But Mercury/MerCruiser does support their own product that protects I/Os and Zeus pods using the same technology, just much smaller scale. I think it works here.
Ok got that too. YF school is always very informative. Thanks CR I know what FRP is!! Fiber Reinforced Plastic ! AKA Fiberglass..lol. See I’m semi-nautical-smart.
