ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
16
Sea air, which can be very humid and salty, presents
a tough environment for the electrical system to
operate in. The electrical system of the engine can
be affected by creeping current, oxidation and
voltage drop if you do not overhaul it regularly.
Make sure that the wires are undamaged and have
not been subjected to bilge water. Otherwise there
is a risk that leakage currents can get to the engine/
drive or to the bilge water in the bilge. Serious
corrosion damage can occur within a short time if
leakage currents knock out the galvanic corrosion
protection.
Important! A battery will be seriously damaged
if discharged for longer periods. A discharged or
badly charged battery can be ruined by freezing.
