Mind the Mobo...

[achwilan]

Just an interesting short story (fortunately it didn't last too long)
Today I discovered approx 40L of seawater under the floors... /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Explanation:
When I don't use the boat, I have the prop wired to an external hanging anode by means of a cable fastened to the shaft in the engine compartment (some neighbours are electrically anything but discreet).
A big mobo is now moored astern on the other side of the pontoon. They have been running power tests last week with their CO2 factory, which forced the shaft to take 2 turns, and so the anode cable squeezed the volvo stern gland, and then flow, sweet river, flow...
By now the boat is dry and the shaft quite secured....

Maybe, beware the paranoid (electrolosis) Raggie????

Not at all in that berth... a big hanging anode was the only way to stop eating prop anodes (and the prop itself taking a beautiful dezinc red colour on my former boat...). And it proved quite effective with the current J-prop ... till the last joke.
