Question

Got electrolysis's in metal boat ,any suggestions.anodes dissapearingrapidly?

Answer 1

sounds like your using the wrong annodes for the water your in,sea water  and river water both need different annodes.check it out with a boat yard

Answer 2

you might have an elec.short someware on the boat to check this disconnect the pos.ter.from the battery make sure every thing is off in the boat every light even check bulbs in glove box- shower -bilge pump-etc put a continuity tester from the loose pos. cable to the pos. term. on the battery if it lights up you have a short some where if you cant find it disconnect the battery when not in use but keep in mind the auto bilge pump will not work so check on it after it rains if you have an outboard motor unplug the elect. harness and unhook the shifter cable [so there is no metal connecting the motor to the boat] this will tell you if the short is in the engine or the boat

Answer 3

Capt.Bob's got it. The only thing I would add is to look around the boat if you are at a public marina- some dingleberry with a shore power cord dangling in the water 2 boats over will  cause wicked induction, eating away at your hull.
