Default Stray current (voltage leak) problem on steel boat.

Again, here in this marina the average voltage in the water is .5
volts DC.
If your marina is of any age the discarded metal in the water can
create stray voltage.

Hi Joe,

Nick is measuring a voltage between his
hull and his negative wiring, with the
battery and AC power disconnected! It is
hard to attribute that to the water.
That's like measuring a voltage between
the water and the air.
