According to my diving service (whom I am not convinced is truthful) I am going through one shaft zinc a month. They never leave the remnants behind so I can't verify and I refuse to hop in the nasty water of Marina Del Rey. BUT, I would not be surprised if I had stray current so I'm inspecting the wiring and installing a galvanic isolator. I noticed that the Newmar battery charger is wired a little funny. The black wire is going to the neutral bus and the white wire is going to the switch (and the green is going to the ground bus with all the other green wires). The battery charger seems to work fine and the batteries seem fine as well.
Can the charger still work right if it was wired incorrectly?
My reverse polarity light has probably burned out long before I took over the boat a few months ago so I'm not sure if that would go on. But my galvanic isolator with monitor can do that chore. The only reason I leave the boat plugged in is to charge the batteries after a day of sailing and using the fridge - plus I want to run the dehumidifier. Would it be better to plug an extension cord into the shore power to run the dehumidifier instead of plugging in?
