Introducing the SeaBis Master System

by Glen Bishop 25 May 2019 06:01 BST

The SeaBis Master System designed over 10 years and 223 vessel tests has created an effective way of combating stray current (electrolysis).

The SeaBis Master System is a microprocessor based ultra-low DC current detector using propitiatory preloaded software that aids boat owners in detecting the causes of stray current electrolysis found in over 97% of boats in use today. Designed by Glen Bishop, RN Ret. Associate Eng. The system has proven effective on numerous sailing and power vessels worldwide.

With one SeaBis Master System connected to each independent battery bank (start and house systems) aboard your boat, Our system is designed to detect the initial causes of stray current corrosion and the ongoing detection of potential electrolysis should common electrical failures found in most boats occur.

The Seabis Master System comes with a complete instruction manual on "How to eliminate corrosion" and offers online assistance from the systems designer by way of email, Skype or telephone support.

Stray Current Corrosion v other forms of common corrosion. Rust, electrolysis, electrolytic action, marina corrosion, boat corrosion and galvanic are all common terms.

Rust is simply air carried current often vastly accelerated by stray current. Galvanic is an entirely different process. It's caused by two different metals being in proximity in a conductor such as water.

Galvanic is a million times slower than stray current corrosion.

With stray current corrosion is eliminated, will effectively stop all but naturally occuring galvanic corrosion, anodes should then last 3 to 4 years. If they do not then stray current is the cause.

Stray current corrosion is caused by wiring or equipment defects onboard your vessel. I witness stray current destroy commercial propellers and a hull in 10 days, many times every year. It is current flowing from your vessel to the Earth. This is where SeaBis pays for itself, very quickly. SeaBis System eliminates that stray current CAUSE. So saving you many thousands dollars.

The stray current through electrolytic action creates marine electrolysis corrosion. So the original marine corrosion cause is your vessel creating stray current.
