[Public-list] Re: Boat eating zincs

George,

As a suggestion, we added a shaft saver which isolated the shaft from the
boats electrical system. Would that help with any stray voltage in this
case?

An automotive charger isn't isolated from the ground wire.  If you're 
going to use that type, you need to disconnect *BOTH* battery wires. 
Salt water may accelerate the corrosion a little bit, but with the 
impressed voltage of a typical automotive battery charger, you're going 
to lose your zinc very rapidly anyway.
