Mr. John Koeyers. Phone 08 9161 4326.
Owner of a 73 foot steel ex commercial vessel. Two engines, two generators and wheelhouse supply. "Electrolysis is threatening to sink me. Others have stated there is no electrolysis but I can see it with my own eyes. I purchased a portable SeaBis and 2 SeaBis for hard wiring and found causes in the wheelhouse, one starter motor with carbon build up, a oil pressure sender with only one terminal (design for land use), a VHF radio with a non isolated antenna (land use again) and a chart computer purchased from a marine retailer all causing electrolysis corrosion. The marine retailer changed the computer display to marine. So after 2 days I can see light (green for Normal!) at the end of the tunnel."

Mr. Greg Smith. Phone 08 8683 4560.
Professional Electrician for a fleet of very large commercial fishing vessels. "I have been trying to find a solution for electrolysis for over 10 years. I knew it was occurring because of the electrolysis corrosion on the vessels who's electrics I am responsible for. Even though I tried Blockers and other expensive equipment nothing worked. It took me 30 seconds to realize the SeaBis System would work. We fitted two large commercials with SeaBis and removed all the causes in two days. On the third day we carried on full power tests on all equipment. After about 15 minutes we had a Critical alarm. An alternator field winding terminal had broken loose and was touching the alternator metal case. Fixed."

Mr. Will Rob. Phone 08 9752 3129.
Professional Fisherman. "I have just bought a 42 foot, aluminum, 2 year old. Visible electrolysis on prop and weld between hull and upper deck. Fitted one SeaBis as I have one engine with one alternator and two 24 volt batteries.
I contacted SeaBis several times.
The first after I disconnected the engine battery negative and the Critical battery negative went to Normal. I diagnosed causes as Land starter motor and alternator. They both had only one thick battery connection. My Electrician replaced them both. I will keep them as spares. I understand it is O/K to use them for a few weeks.
After fitting them and reconnecting the engine I had a Critical again! The dash was metal and had a LAND USE cigarette lighter. Now I have Normal all the time. Fixed."

Marine Surveyor B.I.A. A.M.I.F.
Member of the Marine Surveyors Association Inc. (MSA)
"I am a registered Marine Surveyor with over 35 years experience in the marine industry. My background is, fully qualified shipwright and ex sea going merchant navy officer.
I first commenced using SeaBis when I discovered a large amount of unexplained corrosion on a vessel I was surveying. A SeaBis meter was connected to the vessels electrical system and indicated critical. The owner had the wiring corrected and two SeaBis permanently installed.
I strongly recommend a SeaBis electrolysis meter be installed in every vessel with any metal fixtures and electrical system on board."
Since then his vessel has been electrolysis free.
March 2008. Mr. Alan Beswick. Slipway Owner.
Phone 0411 427 184. "I have been in the Marine Industry for 45 years and am the proprietor of Access yachts which is a slipway.
Over the years I have experienced the same electrolysis problems occurring over and over again. The repairs are expensive and yet boat owners pay for the same repairs on going. I call electrolysis "silent death " because the damage to boats happens before you know it, most of the time when it is too late and ends up costing boat owners $thousands of dollars.
Plenty have attempted to solve the problem of electrolysis and I have tried many with no results. I purchased the SeaBis System over 12 months ago and tested it thoroughly.
I use the system all of the time on the slipway to check the boats that come in for repair and maintenance.
This is the first time I have found a product that works and does what it says it will do.
I am convinced that every boat should be installed with a SeaBis System. The SeaBis lights give a clear visual sign every time electrolysis is running through the boat and even lets the boat owner know how serious it is. One can then use the elimination process instructions supplied with the system and fix the problem straight away. In other words the electrolysis is eliminated before any damage is done.
The SeaBis Electrolysis Corrosion Prevention System gives peace of mind to the boat owner and saves the hip pocket.
In my opinion the SeaBis System is not just a plus it is a must for all boat owners."
September 2007. By Dave, Master of a professional fishing boat
"I have just purchased a 27 year old, metal hull with 2 Honda 120 HP outboards. I was informed by my surveyor that the boat would last me another 30 years on the proviso I could find a way to eliminate the electrolysis. I fitted a SeaBis Electrolysis Corrosion Prevention System, followed the elimination instructions, and no longer have any electrolysis.
2007 by Dennis. Master of a professional fishing boat.
"I first bought the
SeaBis System in 1995. My boat had very serious electrolysis damage over all of the underwater area of the hull. We installed the SeaBis electrolysis detector, followed the process of elimination instructions, and all the causes of electrolysis were removed. Total cost under $2000.
Since then (that was almost 13 years ago) we have no longer experienced any electrolysis corrosion and are still using the original installed SeaBis System. Once all the electrolysis corrosion that had occurred prior to the installation of the SeaBis System had been repaired , my boat - electrolysis free- has increased its value and I was offered 2.5 million dollars recently for the boat and licence which I declined. My thanks go to SeaBis. "
2007 by Des, Tugs Manager.
Original purchase 1995. We experienced extensive accelerated corrosion on three of our tugs. We used the
SeaBis System to trace the causes. The system successfully identified the causes and we were able to remove them. We have experienced no further problems with accelerated corrosion problems. One of the causes found was a VHF antenna that still operated correctly, however was causing very serious damage to a trim correction water tank.
There has been no electrolysis damage since."
2005. Written by Garry, Owner of three professional fishing boats.
"All of my three boats suffered from serious electrolysis to hull and one has propeller damage. I mounted all my equipment on thick wood to insulate it from the hull. I completed the elimination instructions.One cause was a fish finder where the supplier had bolted from the metal mount bracket through the wood to the metal hull so shorting out the wood insulation! We removed all causes and now my SeaBis indicates Normal. Finally I am now free on all three vessels"
2005. Written by Glenn, Master of high speed entertainment vessel
"When I originally heard about the SeaBis System I was experiencing bubbling paintwork on my vessel which appeared to be getting worse. The SeaBis identified the cause of electrolysis damage to the join of hull to deck. The cause was a cracked battery. I have experienced no problem of electrolysis since and I am still using the SeaBis System.
2003. Written by William, Master of a special purpose vessel.
"There was extensive hull damage around propeller and it’s shaft tunnel. The SeaBis detected electrolysis that was caused by an alternator and CB antenna. Both were replaced at minor expense and there has been no electrolysis damage to date, 5 years later.”
January 2000. Written by Fredrick, Owner of a professional fishing boat.
"There is visible extensive hull corrosion. A
SeaBis identified the cause as engine control system. It was a land design temperature sender and was replaced in a few hours."
Revisited 2005. “There has been no further electrolysis. I am happy with the Electrolysis Detector onboard so ’I don't need the new model.”
April 1999. By Neil. Master of a large research vessel.
Repurchased 2007. "We experienced severe damage to internal water tanks, in the top foot of the water level. The SeaBis Electrolysis Detector indicated critical. We traced the cause using the process of elimination instructions. The cause was traced to a near new battery charger with negative connection direct to the metal body which put a battery negative on the hull and the water tank. This resulted in thousands of 2-3 millimetre holes around the top water level. The battery charger I replaced with a marine isolated unit. Electrolysis since - zero."
June 1998. Written by Christos. Captain of a ship.
"My radar device was very noisy(it had an electrical noise on the display) The SeaBis System was installed and it located the cause in the fire control system. We then replaced the defective sensor. The radar display was clear and distinct for the first time in many months."
October 2005. Written by Will. Owner of a fast aluminum wave piercing ferry.
"I purchase my first Seabis in 1995. My ferry was exhibiting serious hull damage in the area of the hull around the propeller shaft. The
SeaBis produced an alarm whenever the engines were on. The cause was a temperature sensor on one of the four manifolds. It was replaced and total cost was less than $1,000."
"Later that same year I replaced a CB Transceiver SeaBis immediately responded with an alarm. It was immediately replaced at no cost.
In the last 10 years there has been no electrolysis damage."
1996. By Bob. Master of a patrol boat.
"We had the hull area around the stern gland replaced at a considerable expense. We installed The SeaBis System and traced the cause to a defective VHF antenna causing a serious hull current. We replaced the antenna with a marine design and to date have experienced no more electrolysis damage. "
1996. By John. Fleet Manager for professional fishing vessels:
Repurchased 2006. Instructions to suppliers of two new engines when SeaBis alarmed at the initial turn on “Get those engines off this boat until you can prove they do not create electrolysis.” The engines were enormous. "They were taken ashore, modified to make them professional isolated marine and reinstalled. They no longer produced an electrolysis alarm"
