Jon,

As far as I know, the Zinc Saver Isolator came on the boat from the factory. I believe they were added somewhere in the 1998 model year (around hull 490??).

If someone has developed an easy way to test if the galvanic isolator is working, I'd appreciate seeing it.

<DIV>Hi Karl,</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>I was looking at your pics and noticed your ZincSaver isolator. Did you install yourself or was that from the factory? I know Catalina started putting these in, but it was after my hull number. If you did put it in yourself, what was the installation like?</DIV>
