In a hurry?
Electrical current dissolves metal. So corrosion protection stops paint bubbling, boat or marina corrosion, rust, rig and process line corrosion. The SeaBis System prevents them all.
Corrosion is dependent on an electro-chemical reaction. Correct the corrosive current and you will prevent 97% of all corrosion from occurring.
SeaBis Master System correctly prevents the CAUSE of corrosion – current and corrects that cause, saving you thousands of dollars in maintenance and repair.
SeaBis indicates the power side so halving your work.
Paint bubbling. The metal underneath is dissolved.
Propeller corrosion caused by electrical current. Stainless steel forms worm holes.
Electrical current dissolves the engine leg in 14 days

97% of corrosion is caused by electrical current creating electrolysis. 3% is caused by galvanic. I witness that current destroy propellers and hulls in 10 days, many times every year. Most importantly, wiring or equipment defects on board your vessel cause the current. The resulting current flows from your vessel to the Earth. SeaBis Master System pays for itself, very quickly, correcting the electrical current CAUSE. So saving you many thousands dollars.
How to prevent the CAUSE of corrosion
In conclusion the SeaBis System with SeaBis Instructions permanently prevents the CAUSE of current that creates 97% of marine corrosion. Galvanic corrosion is then easy to prevent using anodes.
First use SeaBis to measure current flow to the Earth. Observing the lights on SeaBis. Second, identify the circuit causing current by switching off circuits until SeaBis Master indicates Normal (green). The last circuit you switched off was the cause. Finally prevent the CAUSE, follow SeaBis Instructions. Then our 8 year guarantee applies.
You will see the Wikipedia apparatus power is red and black – so must be Direct Current (DC or battery current). Wikipedia text clearly states DC current. Wikipedia does not state Alternating Current (AC or inverter or mains or shore power). So shore power or AC cannot be the cause.
A one kilo gram (1,000 grams) or two pound anode generates 1/(divided by)1,000,000 or one millionth of an amp protective current. Whereas current is 100 to at least 1,000,000 times stronger. Therefore you would need 100 to at least 10,000 kilo grams of anode! So use SeaBis Master System to prevent the CAUSE, completely and permanently.
Multi meter, half cell, reference electrode or test lamp? Can any of them prevent corrosion?
Sorry but no. The consequence will be to waste your time and money while corrosion escalates. The reason is corrosion is caused by CURRENT flow to the Earth. They will measure the COMBINED VOLTAGE of every vessel within 200 meters and that of the Earth. The result is misleading information. Therefore use SeaBis Master System to measure current flow to the Earth and correct the cause – it works 100%. That is why we provide a 8 year guarantee.
Why buy a Blocker?
Some will try confusion by calling Blocker a Galvanic Isolator!
A Blocker is wired into the mains earth.
Don’t be deceived. AC – Mains / shore power CAN NOT be the cause. The reason is AC is Alternating Current. If it takes off a particle in the first half Hertz/Cycle it will put it back on in the second half.
Ask for their WRITTEN guarantee. Read it.

AC or shore power cannot be the cause so what does the Blocker achieve?
AC is the abbreviation for Alternating Current. It reverses direction every half Cycle or Hertz. So IF a particle is removed in the first half Cycle it will be replaced in second half Cycle. Therefore AC cannot cause corrosion. In addition, if there were DC in AC then every AC appliance would burn out in a few seconds. The reason is: DC has no Counter Motive Force (Back EMF).
How to prevent corrosion:
SeaBis measures the TOTAL current affecting your vessel. Now use the SeaBis Master System to prevent the CAUSE of electrical current corrosion, permanently. So preventing other vessels and the Earth from causing you corrosion. Galvanic corrosion is only 3 % and easily prevented when the cause of electrical current is corrected.
Rust cause:
Air carries current causing rust. Preventing current reduces rust. Use SeaBis!
More proof:
Wikipedia explains the cause: See
– the Earth provides a current and electrical path that causes the corrosive current to increase. In addition, both water and air are conductors. So they complete the circuit to the Earth.
Now correct the CAUSE: Use the SeaBis Master System to identify and PREVENT the cause.
Common names are rust, electrolysis, electrolytic action, marina corrosion, boat corrosion and galvanic. The CAUSE is always the same – electrical current. It is caused by faults in your vessel. That current causes corrosion by marine electrolysis. The solution is to use SeaBis Master System to Identify, understand, then prevent the cause, permanently.
The corrosion is caused by electrical current flowing from your vessel to the Earth. This is where SeaBis pays for itself, very quickly. SeaBis Master System eliminates all corrosive current CAUSE/s. So saving you many thousands dollars.
The SeaBis box proved very useful in tracking down multiple corrosive current problems aboard our boat. Old household wire was the leading cause. It was originally installed by Beneteau and new electronics that had not been earthed correctly. Service from SeaBis was excellent with prompt replies to my queries. I did really appreciate your help. Thanks again for your help, its been A1 service.

Hi Glen, Thanks for your help earlier today. I’ve easily isolated the offending components… spreader lights depth sounder …and the starter motor. I guess the latter is due to carbon build up as it is meant to be a separate earth unit. Anyhow, back on track now. Cheers, Mike

My wife and I are currently circumnavigating aboard our 45 ft. steel yacht. I purchased a SeaBis System after borrowing a friend’s SeaBis and discovering that I, too, had corrosive current – a flashing red critical light is hard to ignore. This was after the boat had been tested and cleared by the test bulb method. I have no electrical skills but, by following the system, I was able to detect and eliminate the four causes of corrosive current – a non-isolated genset, a VHF aerial not insulated from the mast, a fuel tank gauge not insulated from the SS day tank, and the connection between a non 12v computer and the SSB radio – to achieve a very satisfying green normal light.
Furthermore, the SeaBis has identified AC leakage from worn brushes in 12v fans and, most recently, a path between the brushes and case on my Balmar alternator, which blew the SeaBis fuse before causing any damage. I consider the SeaBis to be a vital element in diagnosing my yacht’s electrical health. I would also add that Glen has been a great guy to deal with, standing behind his product and providing a wealth of diagnostic advice.

Six years ago I purchased a Dutch barge in Amsterdam, shipped it to the UK and spent four years restoring it to a fully functioning residential boat in my spare time. During this process I learnt much about the ways of vessels which has added to my automobile knowledge. One of the things I learnt was that corrosion was destroying my hull which lead into an investigation, this in turn lead me to the SeaBis. I completed SeaBis Instructions and time has proven the cause is removed. No more corrosive current.

Well Glen your SeaBis system fixed the cause. No problems in 5 months. It was a deck generator and CB radio.

We purchased a steel cruiser 8 years ago and had problems not long after purchase with corrosion on the decks. When the boat was slipped we had evidence of metal corrosion which I think is caused by electrolysis, on the hull as well. When the boat was returned to the water I had a marine electrician check out the boat and he said that our boat was OK and the corrosion was caused by the boat next to us in the marina.
We then believed that was the cause, we tried to get the marina to do something about it but they did not want to know. When the boat was slipped 18 months later the corrosion was that bad we had to sand blast back to bare metal and repaint including the decks. We moved the boat out of marina and put it on a swing mooring, when the boat was slipped again it was evident again. I looked on the web and found the SeaBis site and purchased a unit since then the decks have stopped showing signs of accelerated corrosion. Although we have yet to slip the boat again to check the hull I am confident that the SeaBis unit is performing, as the decks are looking great.

Two Volvo engines with a carbon fibre mast and extensive advanced corrosion to engines. One has previously been replaced. The Owner and Peter traced the cause to a separate power supply in the instrumentation. Fitted an isolating diode and isolating switches to both engines. Problem fixed.
