Stray Electric Current Safety

Stray electric currents pose a major liability risk to marinas and yacht clubs, ranging from Direct Currents that can cause significant boat damage to Alternating Currents that can cause injuries or even fatalities to those swimming around boats. Marinas and yacht clubs need to be proactive and take the appropriate steps to minimize the likelihood of an electrical incident that could result in property damage, bodily injury or loss of life.

• Different types of stray electric current, including Stray Direct Current and Stray Alternating Current
