No survey, no sea trial. And there was one thing we couldn’t stop thinking about… the electrical system. More specifically, stray current (hello PTSD). It’s the invisible killer of boats. It doesn’t care how new your wiring is, how expensive your systems are, or how confident your installer was. If it’s there, it can quietly destroy props, shafts, rudders, deck fittings, bottom paint and more. And it happens far faster than most people realize. This time, we’re not taking any chances. We brought in the corrosion expert from Marine Protection Systems to run a full inspection and teach us what we should have known years ago… and we filmed every second of it. This video dives deep into one of the most important (and most overlooked) parts of boat ownership: Galvanic corrosion, stray current, anodes, shore power protection, and how it all actually works. A huge thanks to Jess and the team at @marineprotectionsystems3278 for the massive education. --------------- WE’RE JASON AND NIKKI WYNN. A couple of explorers, modern-day documentarians, and cultivators of curiosity. We’ve been chasing our curiosity around the world on wheels and keels since 2011. Why? Because curiosity is the key to unlocking life. It pushes us outside our comfort zone, softens our assumptions, and helps us embrace the great unknown. The more we let our curiosity lead the way, the more we discover about ourselves and the world around us. Things We're Most Curious About... GETTING OFF-GRID Our home is also our transportation and we spend weeks away from civilization and sometimes land. So self-reliance and sustainable living are a must. We've learned heaps about renewable energy, managing waste, creating safe drinking water and foraging for food. We carefully manage our resources and we’re always looking for new and better ways to do so. TALKING TO STRANGERS People are busy (even on remote islands) and travelers are a dime a dozen. It takes time to talk to strangers, and even more time to have a real connection. Going the extra mile to get to know someone is a commitment. Which is why these are our most treasured experiences. Setting off into the world with curiosity as our guide and nature as our compass. We talk to strangers and accept hospitality without fear or reservations. Both giving and receiving. ALTERNATIVE LIVING These are people who are doing things differently. Forgoing the mainstream, seeking freedom and living on the margins. Creative, unique and inspiring people who challenge our ideas of home and community. Our journey is ever-evolving but the mission remains the same: #CultivateCuriosity Timestamps if you like to Jump Around: 00:00 Stray Currents - A Silent Killer of Boats 01:56 Test for DC Isolation or Grounding 03:35 Anodes - Cathodic Testing 10:13 Electrolysis and Electrolytes 11:52 Dangers of Stray Current on a Boat 16:36 Galvanic Isolation - Shore Power & Marina Protection 20:25 How to Choose the Right Anodes 33:18 Worst Engine Anodes 36:26 Monitoring Systems 41:46 The BIG Takeaways ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #Travel #BoatLife #yacht #LifeStyle #Adventure #Sailing #Curiosity © Gone With the Wynns 2026
