H - 7     STRAY CURRENT CORROSION
A.   General
Wire Color
Red
Wire Designation
Wires on positive (+) side of battery that  go to
starter.  This wire is non-protected.
Electrically induced underwater corrosion occasionally
affects boats and their related components.  This is re-
ferred to as “Stray Current Corrosion”  and appears as
surface pitting or deterioration.  Stray current corrosion
is the decomposition of chemical compounds by electric
current.
Red/Purple
Stripe
50 amp protected wire  that runs from the
engine to the fuse  panel at the helm.
Yellow with
Red Stripe
Wire from starter switch to  starter solenoid.
Power  lead  to  bilge  blower  from  a fuse  or
switch.

Stray current corrosion can be caused by the polarity of
the dockside wiring system of the boat being reversed
from the power source (reversed polarity) or surround-
ing boats, an improperly wired battery installation, other
boatsthatareincloseproximitythathaveelectricalpower
leakages, or any other source close to the boat that has
electrical power leakage into the water. Stern drive units
are especially vulnerable to stray current corrosion.
Sensor   wire   from  tachometer    sender    to
tachometer.
Dark Gray
Leads to bilge pump  from switch.
Leads to auto bilge  pump.
Brown/Red
Brown/Orange
Wire between  ignition  switch  and coil.   Wire
from  ignition   switch  through   distribution
panel to electrical instruments.
Purple
Periodically inspect the drive components and thru-hull
fittings to determine if  stray current corrosion damage
exists. If corrosion damage is found, determine and cor-
rect the cause of stray current to  prevent further dam-
age. Consult an experienced marine electrician or con-
tact your Four Winns dealer for assistance.
Accessories
Orange
Wire from switch to instrument  lights.
Dark Blue
Sensor wire  from engine oil  pressure sender
to oil pressure gauge.
Light Blue
Tan
Sensor wire from water temperature sender to
water temperature gauge.
The use of some  shore power battery chargers, while
the boat is in the water and the battery is connected to
the system, can cause stray current corrosion. Have an
experienced  marine  electrician   review  any battery
charger installation to ensure a stray current corrosion
problem will not develop. An improper battery connec-
tion is a common cause of stray current corrosion.
Sensor wire from fuel tank level sender to fuel
gauge.

Corrosion is usually  more prevalent in polluted or  salt
water than in clean water. It is also more likely to occur
when dockage is in an area with steel piers, large metal
boats, or where shore power is in use.
