RB 35s5 NY A buddy with a NYC power company said it is Rats eating the power cables, some so big that when they die on a power cable the fat in the rat bodies boils across the cables and short the lines. That and some people are dumb enough to run shore power cables underwater to run AC's. Joe |

The way your power line and dock lines run is not best industry practice. The boatyard would flip if the insurance underwriters saw your setup. Leaders set examples, scoundrel and second handers try to skirt the rules. It's obvious which boat you are in. Shame on you! |

Not only do you see acid rain streaks on his hull, but if you look closely you can see that his Zinc's are boiling from stray voltage.

He knows as much about electricity as he does cables! Actually, Bob. Joe is right on this occasion. Your shore power cable is not completely waterproof. Over time water will get in. Fibre optic cables are filled with a water repellant gel to prevent frost damage because PVC and Polueurathane insulations are not completely waterproof. Over a six month period, enough water will get through your cable's insulation to cause real problems. Joe is correct. The wires will get wet if you leave a shorepower cable submerged. I think that you should apoligise to him. Regards Donal -- |
