Steel hull - electrical ground
AFAIK
, there is only one that meets the ABYC specs, & that is made by
Charles Industries (
www.charlesindustries.com
). Something about
isolaitng the ground as well as the conductors.

Jim,
Would you have a recommendation for an isolation transformer? The
only one that I have found so far ate up a lot of the power before it
could get into the boat. That seemed strange to me, but maybe I was
reading the specs incorrectly. Also the price seemed to be very high.
Of course, protecting my beloved boat from galvanic corrosion is
probably worth a lot if that is what is necessary.
By the way, you mentioned DC and AC ground fault alarms. Who makes
them and are they available to private individuals?
Thanks in advance for your help.
