Who supplied, installed and services the plant

What this page tells you: who built, supplied and services the plant, and what each has said.

Facts as recorded by the owner. Root cause not determined. No cause is asserted on this page.

The owner’s contract is with the builder. The plant manufacturer sells through a regional dealer, and a local contractor does service work. Knowing who holds which information helps an investigator know whom to ask.

What each party has said about responsibility (dated)

The full dated record is on the interactions page. These statements describe different parts of the chain. They have not yet been brought together into one investigation, which is what we are asking for help with.

Stray current: hypothesis and recorded facts

The dealer raised stray current (electrolysis) as a possible factor and noted it would need separate confirmation. Facts recorded so far: the on-board isolation transformer is always in circuit on shore power; hull potential reads in the protected range; underwater anodes are largely intact; other seawater equipment on the same sea chests is unaffected. The leakage-current test was done with the plant off.
