Galvanic isolator

[Tim Porter]

Does anyone have a picture of a galvanic isolator installed on CW30? My dealer says they don’t know where/how to install one on CW30. I believe best place is near shore power inlet but not sure enough room.

I have a C-28. I installed a galvanic isolator in the small cabinet under the Cuisinart Microwave. That's where the ELCI is. You might be able to do something similar on C-30. It's gets installed between the ground wire from the shore power connector before the ground goes to the ELCI. Pretty straight forward.

I too have a CW 28 and installed my galvanic isolator in the battery compartment on the rear port side. I mounted a 1/2" piece of starboard vertically against the outer hull, using stainless L bracelets, and then mounted the isolator to the starboard. I made sure it was tucked under the compartment overhang so it wouldn't get accidentally wet.
I will try to get some pictures when I get over to the boat.
Hope this helps.

I could get a photo tomorrow, but ours is in the starboard lazarette next to the (if I recall) autopilot pump.

Thanks for input. Hope dealer is smart enough to figure it out. I will give him some suggestions based on feedback.
