Another zinc question

1K views 9 replies 8 participants last post by  dave6330 
The term hot slip refers to a shore power electrical problem where the boat may be hot from improper grounding. Isolation transformers can be used to prevent this from occuring and to help isolate your boat from their problem. Additional zinc can help if it is attached through a gounding grid to the engine/prop shaft to complete the circuit. The lower the resistive path the better.
