Norm asked if the current was AC or DC.
Norm,
The current was DC. Today we measured from the shorepower
ground pins to the bay and found that there was 0.48 Volts
at my friends dockbox. The shorepower was negative with
respect to the bay.
Then we went to my dockbox, 5 slips away, and repeated the
procedure. This time we measured 0.36 Volts. The shorepower
was POSITIVE with respect to the bay.
I'm sure the BAY AIN'T THE PROBLEM!
The guy across the dock from me, 15 feet away, is losing a
"dinnerplate" zinc every 60 days!
