Is there anyway, with simple equipment that I can determine if his boat is causing any problems? Should I test between the neutral lead of shore power and the water for stray current with a volt meter?? Steve, what I would do is simply measure with an AC voltmeter (possibly digital and with high internal resistance) if there is voltage between the ground wire of the shore power and the water around your boat when you are NOT connected to shore power itself while the possible suspect IS connected. Useless to say to be very careful. Try different scales starting from the highest down. Eventually, if the voltage is low, try also the DC scales. You should not be able to read any voltage but if there is a stray current problem you might. If you read anything let me know and I may help to work things out. Daniele |
