Defects and Damage
How is stray current and bonding damage detected?
Stray current damage advances quietly: anodes erode faster than expected and invisible wastage begins on the propeller and shaft. The finding comes from several measurements together — anode consumption rate, bonding continuity and shore power.
Why it works this way
Testing polarity and earth continuity at the sockets separates a fault on the boat from one on the pontoon. Replacing anodes without that measurement treats the symptom and leaves the cause running.
