Kent,
WRONG, the engine is isolated from the angle iron by the mounts. The wire from the zincs should connect with all of the other wires above the gray water bilge.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Prop Shaft Electrolysis
Thanks again, Alan,
All the 220 appliances seem to work fine. The only thing that tripped the breaker once was a blow dryer when other things were already running.
When you say disconnect

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Prop Shaft Electrolysis
Bills reply also helpful....
What I mean is that maybe there is an electrical device which is faulty and has a capacitive leak to ground.
As Bill says, likely cuplrits are the toilet macerator

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Prop Shaft Electrolysis
Thanks, Alan.
I'm not sure I understand the capacitance thing, but that's what the electrician thinks, too. What kind of fault would lead to a capacitance? I take it that means something is storing

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Prop Shaft Electrolysis
Kent,
It is hard to diagnose via an email which does not have all of the facts.
One question about your electrician...With the 24v battery switch ON, and the 220V shore power DISCONNECTED (UNPLUGGED),

Re: Prop Shaft Electrolysis
Hi Kent,
Congratulations on the receipt of the C-drive...hope the installation goes well.
Regarding your electrical scenario.....it sounds like there's a capacitance between the earth bonding system

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Wind Generator
We too have an Air Breeze installed by the previous owner. It is very cleverly mounted on the port side rail just a little forward of the mizzen mast. We do not have any vibrations due to the mount.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Wind Generator
Agree absolutely, we have a D400 mounted on a pole on the port aft corner.
The only time I noticed any benefit from it was on the way to Tahiti in 40+ knot winds.
Otherwise it contributes almost

Re: Prop Shaft Electrolysis
Hi, everyone,
I hope you are all having a great sailing season.
My new C Drive has finally arrived and we are sorting out the reinstallation to be done in early Feb when I can be present.

Re: Wind Generator
We have an Air Breeze, installed by the previous owner on our Maramu. Mounted on a SS pole at the stern on the port side. Right above the aft cabin. I have to disable it at night due to vibration

Paul and Susan,
My Maramu is 17m in hight and 1.8 m in depth. this seems OK for all bridges in the waterway. A Supermaramu would probably not fit the requirements,

We looked at the inter coastal waterway and determined that we were too deep and our mast too high to make a transit. We went outside.
