Can AC or shore power cause corrosion?

AC is short for Alternating Current. It reverses direction every half Cycle or Hertz. So, IF it takes off a particle in first half Hertz it will replace it in second half Hertz. So AC cannot cause marine corrosion.

What does cause corrosion?

Stray current - Direct (battery) Current, is the ONLY cause of corrosion.

Will my multi meter / fish / probe / reference or half cell help?

They all measure or apply voltage to that of every vessel within 150 meters. The cause is stray CURRENT. So, they will not help.

Will more anodes help?

The CAUSE is stray current that is at least 1,000 to 1,000,000 times the protective ability of anodes. So, anodes will not help. So, prevent the CAUSE - stray current.

Can my corrosion be caused by galvanic (different metals)?

Different metals such as stainless and aluminium, in proximity, are the ONLY cause of galvanic corrosion. 99.9% is caused by marine electrolysis.

SeaBis System 8-year guarantee, warranty, training and support, free with SeaBis Master System.

We are so certain of SeaBis Master’s well proven abilities to prevent the CAUSE of marine corrosion we guarantee (physical properties), warranty (functional properties) and provide diagnostic assistance for 8 years. Proof of your purchasing SeaBis Master System required.

SeaBis 8-year guarantee & warranty. We will prevent 100% of the stray current that is the ONLY CAUSE of marine electrolysis corrosion. How to Prevent Corrosion must be complied with.

SeaBis 8-year guarantee, warranty and support:

Guarantee, warranty and support are funded by the purchase of SeaBis Master System. Therefore, proof of purchase will be required.

Should a manufacturing defect occur or the stray current that causes electrolysis corrosion not be prevented, we will for 8 years from purchase date, at our discretion, repair or replace SeaBis Master System or SeaBis Portable Master System providing How to Prevent Corrosion Instructions have been complied with, and we have authorised the claim and the return of the System. Freight to SeaBis is the responsibility of the Owner.

Guarantee, SeaBis Master System:

Applies to the SeaBis Master equipment.

Warranty, SeaBis Master System:

Applies to the identification and prevention of all cause/s of the stray current that creates corrosion by SeaBis Master System. We warranty to provide assistance, to complete the process of preventing stray current.

SeaBis Simple:

SeaBis Simple is designed for use by single battery bank trailer boats. Simple is not as accurate or well protected as SeaBis Master. It is excluded from this 8-year guarantee and warranty. SeaBis Simple has a 1-year guarantee and warranty from date of purchase for manufacturer’s faults only.

Provisions that apply to guarantee and warranty:

1: Advice from SeaBis and How to Prevent Corrosion instructions must be complied with. Where 12 volts AND 24 volts exist on one vessel, the risk is stray current with corrosive ability is triple that on a vessel with a single voltage. The reason is there are 12, 24 and the difference voltages. Therefore, permanent installation of SeaBis Master on 12 AND 24 volts are essential. Failure to comply voids SeaBis warranty.

2: DO NOT ignore the AC Only light. When it flashes more than 3 times, your life and equipment are being attacked. The AC power Active, Neutral and Earth may be reversed. Or a severe defect exist. So, risking your life. If the AC Only on SeaBis Master flashes more than 3 times, then AC content is vastly excessive. AC content in DC is normally 0.02 volts. AC Only flashes at more than 2 whole volts. So, 100 times the normal. That is very likely to at least kill electronics. It is enough to kill you. Failure to prevent the cause voids the guarantee and therefore the warranty. We will assist you preventing the cause/s.

3: Intermittent or new causes MAY require permanent installation of SeaBis Master System at every DC source.

4: Should the security seal on the back of SeaBis be tampered, then all guarantee and warranty are void.

5: Liability of SeaBis or its Owner/s, Podean Electronic Industries Pty Ltd, is limited to the purchase cost of the equipment, from SeaBis.

6: How to Prevent Corrosion, supplied with SeaBis Master System, must be complied with.

SeaBis Master System life expectancy:

We expect the SeaBis Master System, when permanently installed, to last for 20 years.

SeaBis is best permanently installed. The reason is, a permanently installed device is far less likely to be damaged by dropping into water or impact damage than as a portable.

Proof SeaBis Master System prevents all the stray current that is the ONLY cause of electrolysis corrosion:

Before SeaBis Master System. Stray current generates marine electrolysis, therefore the hull dissolves. Causing coatings to bubble:

After SeaBis Master System. Underwater view. Submerged for one year. No stray current, therefore no corrosion and antifouling works as design.

SeaBis as a portable:

SeaBis guarantee and warranty.

SeaBis Master monitors the battery bank the SeaBis is connected to. Battery banks not monitored cannot cause SeaBis to indicate stray current. The number of battery banks is increased by use of battery “Both” or “Emergency” switches, fitting more than one SeaBis or moving SeaBis (fitting battery clips). SeaBis Master may be moved from a battery bank to another battery bank and will indicate all permanent causes. Intermittent and new causes require continuous monitoring by SeaBis. How to Prevent Corrosion and SeaBis Master System will prevent the cause/s. Intermittent and new cause/s MAY require permanent installation of SeaBis Master to every DC source.

Details:

SeaBis 8-year Guarantee and Warranty.

1: We guarantee AND warranty SeaBis Master System with How to Prevent Corrosion will prevent ALL CAUSES of corrosion caused by stray current, permanently. How to Prevent Corrosion must be complied with.

2: ALL batteries and DC power, without SeaBis Master System, create the stray current that causes electrolysis corrosion. So, permanently monitor them all. Batteries can be switched in parallel, with “Both” or “Emergency” battery switches, so only require one SeaBis Master. 10 cumulative days, without SeaBis, has and will cause corrosion that may be extremely expensive. You will be able to see the corrosion. I have witnessed two of US$5,000 propellers corroded beyond repair in 10 days, too many times.

3: Time away from your vessel is excluded, as we will take steps to ensure there is no electrolysis while you are absent – see How to Prevent Corrosion.

4: Equipment you cannot turn off is treated separately. Thus, absolutely minimising the risk.

As always, we will support you. Contact Us.

We supply SeaBis Master System 8-year guarantee for: Even the radiator of your Land Cruiser, propeller on your Fiberglas boat, aluminium or steel of your hull, gearbox, engine, or winch, rig or platform, railway line control, caravan, plane, vehicle, abattoir, streetlight from corrosion. With no genuine claims from in excess of 2,000 SeaBis Master Systems, we must be correct.
