TESTING FOR STRAY CURRENT ON ALUMINUM SAILBOAT: The Cause of RUST on our NEW Equipment - Ep 228
We’re cruising around Antigua, checking out some amazing views, and hiking through English Harbour. We're anchoring in a smaller anchorage where the winds spin boats 360 degrees and demonstrate how it takes a bit of time to settle in whenever we anchor down in a new spot. We also get some stunning drone shots of the coastline before saying goodbye to the super yachts that line the harbour.
While underway to a scenic anchorage, Carlisle Bay, we get into a bit of boat maintenance. Our anchor chain is rusted so we fix it on the move! No mooring buoy or dock slip required. We also share a little DIY with materials we have on hand to stop galvanic corrosion by isolating stainless steel from galvanized metals. Then we test our aluminum boat for stray current using a silver silver chloride electrode to make sure everything’s in check. We’ll show you how we do it and what the results are. Lastly, we're cleaning our hull, showing you how TotalBoat's copper-free Alumipaint Bottom Paint has helped up on our aluminum hull.
