the fitting. When ground plates are included in this common bond,
the current drain on the battery will be higher. It may be desirable
to disconnect the ground plate from the common bonding and
reduce the battery drain. Radio frequency grounding for any
electronic equipment is accomplished by connecting a capacitor
(0.5 microfarads at 200 volts) between the common bonding and
the ground plate. This will prevent unnecessary battery drain.
2. If the craft is equipped with an isolation coupling on the propeller
shaft, it is recommended that it be removed. Unless the isolation
feature is removed, the propeller and shaft will not receive
protection. Engines equipped with hydraulic drives should be
checked while in motion with an ohmmeter between the shaft and
common ground. If not grounded, a grounding brush assembly
should be installed.
3. Do not install thru-hull components adjacent to depth sounding
transducers.
Application of Capastic on Metal and Wood Hulls
A dielectric shield must be applied around the anodes in order to increase
the distribution of anode current on metal and wood hulls and also provide
protection for the metal or wood substrate against chemical attack by chlorine
gas. The Capastic Kit (P/N 37020) supplied with your order contains a can of
resin, a jar of hardener, mixing cups and sticks. If the Capastic Shield is correctly
applied as per instructions container on label of resin can, it should eccentrically
surround the anode as shown below.
