Safety and prevention of galvanic corrosion.

The isolation transformer eliminates any electrical continuity between AC shore power and the boat. It is essential for safety and eliminates the need for galvanic isolators and polarity alarms. Safety is taken for granted in case of a normal on-shore installation. A fuse will blow or a GFCI (Ground Fault Current Interrupter) will trip in case of a short circuit or current leakage to ground. Connecting the ground wire of the shore-side supply to the metal parts of the boat will result in galvanic corrosion (see below). Bringing only the live and neutral wire on board results in an unsafe situation because GFCI’s will not work nor will a fuse blow in case of a short circuit to a metal part on the boat.

Galvanic corrosion occurs when two dissimilar metals in electrical contact are simultaneously exposed to an electrically conducting fluid. Seawater and to a lesser extent fresh water are such fluids. In general the more active alloy of the couple corrodes preferentially while the less active (more noble) material is cathodically protected. The rate of galvanic corrosion is a function of several variables including area ratios conductivity of the fluid temperature nature of the materials etc.

It is a misunderstanding that galvanic corrosion occurs only in metal and aluminium hulls. In fact it can occur on any boat as soon as a metallic part (the shaft and propeller) is in contact with water. Galvanic corrosion will quickly dissolve your sacrificial anodes and attack the shaft propeller and other metal parts in contact with water as soon as the boat is connected to the shore-side supply.

It might therefore be tempting not to connect the ground conductor: this is however extremely dangerous because GFCI’s will not work nor will a fuse blow in case of a short circuit to a metal part on the boat. The best solution to avoid galvanic corrosion and at the same time prevent any unsafe situation is to install an isolation transformer to connect to the shore-side supply.

The isolation transformer eliminates any electrical continuity between shore power and the boat. The shore power is fed to the primary side of the transformer and the ship is connected to the secondary. The isolation transformer completely isolates the boat from the shore ground. By connecting all metal parts to the neutral output on the secondary side of the transformer a GFCI will trip or a fuse will blow in case of a short circuit.

Soft start is a standard feature of a Victron Energy isolation transformer. It will prevent the shore power fuse from blowing due to the inrush current of the transformer which would otherwise occur.

It is also recommended for optimal safety to connect the secondary neutral of the transformer to ground when the boat is out of the water.

Like the sunscree - not the spray can
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Sunscreen itself did a great job with our snorkeling and scuba diving. Long lasting and didn't rub off in spots where masks and other things can leave spots unprotected. However, the spray can itself was difficult. Even when being sure it was completely in the unlocked position, it would take me two thumbs at full pressure to get it started spraying at times. Definitely, only a couple of us in the party were the appliers as we could get it started.

Love it! Eco-friendly and Easy-to-Use Spray

I really like the Alba Botanicals Coconut Clear Spray! Not only does it give me a refreshing coconutty vibe, but it’s also biodegradable and cruelty-free, which is important to me. 🐰♻️ The spray-on application is a breeze, and I love how it doesn’t leave that annoying greasy feeling on my skin. It absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling soft and nourished. Perfect for those sunny beach days or any time I need a quick spritz of hydration. I highly recommend this coconut clear spray to everyone who values eco-friendly choices and easy-to-use skincare products.

Great product, bad packaging
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
I love this sunscreen! I use it on myself and my child and it works very well. However, the spray nozzle on one of the cans is locked and it will not work. I have tried to turn the lock, lift it up, etc., to no avail. This item is also not returnable. $20 for 1 can of sunscreen is quite expensive.

Great product
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Product is great with good coverage and ease of use. Much better than comparable products because it is very light feeling and doesn't leave a heavy or sticky residue on your skin. Perfect protection for anyone who burns easily or fair skinned. However I paid for the extra rushed 3 day shipping and it was delayed and I wasn't reimbursed the extra shipping charges even though it arrived 6 days later.

Save your money- don’t buy
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Purchased this for our trip to Mexico. At two cruise ports we were doing a combination snorkel and pool day. I got this sunscreen because it was reef friendly and came with two bottles. Both bottles were IMPOSSIBLE to spray. You could not sunscreen yourself because you had to hold the bottle just right, push down with extreme force, and have your fingers place very specifically on the lid. My 13 year old and husband couldn’t even use the bottles. I did figure it out so I had to continually sunscreen everyone in the family. No one in my family has sensitive skin, but we all ended up with a fine rash after using this sunscreen. On days prior we used another brand and no one had a problem. We also reapplied often (every 60-90 min) and we still got pretty burnt. Maybe we got a bad batch…
