I had this problem with my former boat and questioned the possibility of fault by both my marina's AC connections and dockmate's boat. My boat was determined to be the cause of my excessive zinc and running gear corrosion. I had a faulty ground connection to my galvanic isolator - solved by some meter testing and a little rewiring labor by my marina.

Vindication was made to the marina by way of a $550.00 labor bill and I bought my dockmate lunch as an apology for the error through my false accusations.
