Boats and ...trailers

I've done my best to explain this electrolysis process which is a confusing topic at the best of times.

This particular boats silver chloride test started with a very low reading below -800millivolts.

Repairing an electrical fault and introducing an anode resulted in an appropriate reading between -900millivolts and -1100millivolts.

The damage caused by this initial problem is moderate to severe pitting in the hull. (Which is a little hard to see in the photos).

Freshly installed... these little Seaview rail mount pods from Advance Trident give you a bit of dash space at your helm.

The displays installed are the autopilot controls and weather instrumentation.
