As boaters, how can we better protect ourselves and others from the risk of Electric Shock Drowning (ESD)? It all starts at the dock. Swimming near any vessel that has shore power connected to it is hazardous and stray current can lead to drowning.
With Marine Surveyor’s of North Georgia and North Shore Safety’s Stray Current Sensor, marinas can better identify “hot” boats. This custom-built device can be connected to all three shore power connections and test the complete electrical system of the boat for leakage. The product is designed to sense and sound an alarm when leakage is detected at levels dangerous for humans. The Stray Current Sensor is specifically built for marina personnel, boat surveyors and electricians. For more information, visit marinesurveypros.com.
