Wiring Anodes
Is it necessary to wire the anode to the keel? The reason I ask is
that I have a zinc anode connected to the engine & the prop but not the keel. When I put a volt meter from the keel bolt to the engine I got a smal reading, about .5volt! |

Wiring Anodes
It's difficult to generalize on electrical grounding / bonding /
corrosion protection issues; the vessel's entire metal infrastructure needs to be factored in, especially if a sailboat with a mast that requires lightning protection. See Chapter 4 of Nigel Calder's excellent 'Boatowner's Mechanical and Electrical Manual' for a thorough discussion of the topic. MW |
