Rodney, This is a condo marina. They will fix the problem but have no idea how to track it down. Since it directly affects my boat I will try and assist them in finding the source. That is why I posed the question. Chuck You know that, thru the AC ground lead, all boats plugged into the dock supply are connected together. If you have an aluminum prop and your neighbour, a brass one, you're making a battery together even without problem in the dock wiring. Check if the boats without problems are all equiped with a brass prop (or marine stainless) and if those who have corrosion issues don't. It's just a guess but if so, I don't think the problem is with the dock wiring. Best way to prevent that, in ANY cases, even if no apparent problems are experienced, is not to leave the shore power cord plugged while you're not aboard. If your batteries can't keep their charge during the time you're not there, then it may be time to replace them. Anyway, doing this while the marina checks its wiring should prevent any further problems. Jean Dufour Montreal, Qc |
