It is also the system that can cause the biggest problems and is often the toughest to sort out. The key to having a smooth running electrical system is by simply buying a boat brand that has been building boats for a long, long time and is at the top of the learning curve. In other words, the electrical system in a boat has to be done right in the first place. This week Capt. Forrest explains what an Isolation Transformer does and why every large boat should have one.
