Marine Protection Systems Stainless Steel Shaft Grounding Strap
MPS Shaft Grounding straps come with spring tension for easy installation and use, unmatched surface area connection to shafts, tinned copper braid strap and back up bonding connection. Made with 316 marine grade stainless steel pivot arm and mount, 11 positioning holes to suit most drive shafts and spring-loaded locking pins for easy adjustment. Ensure the strap is not over tightened via the spring tensioner.
A vessel bonding system connects each of the submerged metal parts allowing their individual electrochemical potential to be grounded via the circuit. The Shaft Grounding Strap is installed to provide an efficient connection between shafts and the bonding circuit. Your transom mounted Maddox anode is also connected to this circuit which enables it to sacrifice itself and protect the submerged metal parts.
Only apply petroleum jelly supplied to lubricate the shaft strap. Do not use lubricants containing cutting agents such as marine grease or oil. Strap should have greater than 50% connection to the circumference of the shaft. A visual inspection of the strap should be carried out regularly and lubricant re-applied during periods of frequent use and/or after bilge clean and mechanical maintenance.
