Shore Power; Underwater Drive Coating - ILMOR One-Drive Owner's Manual

Shore Power

Vessels that are connected to shore power require additional protection
to prevent destructive low voltage galvanic currents from passing through
the shore power ground wire. Galvanic isolators are available from the
aftermarket (not supplied by Ilmor) to block these currents while still
providing a path to ground for dangerous shock currents.
NOTICE: If the AC shore power ground is not isolated from the boat
ground, the I-CaPS and anodes may be unable to neutralize the
increased galvanic potential. Corrosion damage that results from the
improper system design or application is not covered by the Ilmor
limited warranty.

Underwater Drive Coating

The lower gear case coating may be damaged when hit by objects in the
water, or when having deposits removed from it. The underwater coating
must be inspected at least once per year and when it is believed that an
object was hit that may have caused damage. Repair and repaint damaged
areas immediately.
Observe the following precautions when applying antifouling or marine
paint to the transom of the boat hull:
• Always follow the paint/coating manufacturer's directions for surface
preparation and application.
• Always use a high quality primer and topcoat paint specifically designed
for aluminum outboards or stern-drives.
• Never paint the anodes installed on the stern-drive.
• Never paint the I-CaPS reference electrode and/or anode.
• Never wash the stern-drive with a high pressure washer. This could
damage the coating on the reference wire.
• Never paint the stern-drive with a material that contains copper or tin.
• Never paint over drain holes, anodes, I-CaPS or other items specified by
the anode manufacturer.
Consult your authorized Ilmor Marine dealer or distributor for assistance.
NOTICE: Galvanic corrosion damage, normal maintenance and
consumable parts are not covered by the Ilmor limited warranty.
