Why should I install a Galvanic Isolator in my boat.

Today we are installing a galvanic isolator in a boat with the classic textbook case study of why a isolator can help protect our precious metals underwater. Yes it's HOT down here.

Just wanted to thank you for your videos. I appreciate the clarity and description and look forward to the video on checking the DC differential.

Thanks for refreshing me on this, Eric. Now it would be a good idea to dig around and refresh my memory of where this guy is located. Best wishes to you.

Sounds like a diode ? Stops dc , passes ac

Would have been nice to go through the check for DC process

Thanks for the feedback. We did consider filming that part, but I had to get that job wrapped up quickly and it was wicked hot out there that day. Stay tuned for a video on checking hull potential in the near future.

What was the voltage after the installation?

@@paulwyand6204 If I remember correctly the readings after were -850 millivolts. That reading did not change with shore cord connected or unplugged.
