Jay, The last time we discussed this, I actually took a volt meter and measured 22 volts. I took the measurement from the offending rail and grounded the negative end to the outboard which was in the water. The meter went to 22/23 volts and then almost instantly disappeared. Waiting a few minutes produced the same results. Since our boats are all 12 volt systems with 110 volt thrown in occasionally, it ruled out any source within the boat. The amperage was really low, so it was more of a nuisance shock than anything dangerous. Rummy In a message dated 11/10/2008 11:20:30 A.M.

She does not usually respond to this list although she is still shown in the digested listing. You might want to contact her to find out what she did. We referred to her as lady with shocking Rhodes 22. I posted pictures of her and her boat last spring. Ed K Just bent wrote:See the original archive post
