greenhornet Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 I have a lift for my 18' boat that is operated electrically, 110 vlts, with a toggle switch for up or down movement. The system has a motor mounted in the top of the lift, and the motor has a ground wire that goes down to a surface grounding rod that is 4 ft. in the groung. Recently, a person in the water touched one of the lifting rails and felt a light shock. I want to do whatever possible and needed to insure that no on is injured by shock. Any info and ideas will be appreciated. Thanks, Greenhornet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicago Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 You have a fault somewhere and should have it looked at by a local guy in person. You do not want to take chances around water and electricity. Nobody on this forum will take a chance giving you the wrong advice on playing amateur Electrician. I hope.

Jim Katen Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Bob is right. We really can't be troubleshooting problems like this here. Greenhornet, please hire an electrician to repair your boat lift properly. - Jim Katen, Electrical Forum Moderator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
