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

That is weird, has to have a short to ground somewhere then.

Where do you think it is coming from?

His engine is grounded to the hull, he can claim it is not all he
wants to. Even if he has a flex joint in his shaft he has a steel
exhaust, which carries water through the flex joints and retains
enough moisture to cause a flow of electrons.


I think something like that may be what
is happening, Joe. Two pieces of metal
in contact with some bilgewater or
cooling water could easily show a small
voltage between them.
