Zinc is dissappearing FAST!

I understand how NO ground connection is better than a typical setup with an isolator, but if the isolator is functioning, isn't the effect very close to the same? Let me ask it another way. If I have about 0.2 VDC across the galvanic isolator, would I see about the same between the shore ground and neutral/ground on the boat side of an isolation transformer? Larry may have answered your question indirectly. The short answer is yes. If you follow the recommended practice of using one of the transformer secondary wires as a combination neutral/ground, then you would measure the same 0.2 volts from there to the shore power ground.
