[QUOTE="MDCrappie, post: 500014, member: 160"] Can you direct me to what you've read? With this "free floating"system what happens if one of your positive wires gets chaffed and makes contact with the aluminum"? In my boat if this happens it blows a fuse and I know there is a problem. In your boat nothing will likely happen with the electrical system at all. Now put your boat in the water and leave it there for a couple hours. Without the fuse blowing (since the hull is not bonded to the negative) your boat hull essentially becomes the positive. Your motor is grounded so it is the negative. Once in the water current will flow and guess what becomes the sacrificial anode [/QUOTE]
