Corrosion Monitor – CM-2
The Corrosion Monitor CM-2 provides boat owners with continuous insight into the condition of their vessel’s underwater metal parts. It allows you to know at all times whether corrosion is under control, ensuring maximum protection and peace of mind. CM2
The system includes a silver–silver chloride reference electrode with a 2,5-inch diameter screen, supported and electrically insulated from the hull by a black plastic housing. Together with a precision meter that measures the electrical potential between the electrode and the underwater appendages, the system provides accurate, real-time monitoring of galvanic corrosion levels.
Key Benefits and Features
- Instant corrosion visibility: Easily read corrosion protection levels directly on the meter.
- Timely zinc replacement: Instantly know when your zinc anodes are depleted.
- No batteries required: The system operates permanently without external power.
- Maintenance-free design: Built for long-term reliability with no upkeep needed.
- Expandable protection: Easily upgrade to CAPAC® Impressed Current Protection in the future.
- Ideal for leisure boats: Optimized for private vessels and small commercial craft.
- Accurate galvanic corrosion indication: Continuously monitor underwater metal health.
Easy Installation
Installation is simple and efficient. Mount the display at the helm or dashboard, at least three feet away from the magnetic compass and away from direct water spray. Only two wire connections are required. One to the reference electrode and one to the hull fittings.
To install the reference electrode, drill a ½-inch clearance hole through the hull from inside the bilge. Then, follow the seven straightforward steps outlined in the Owner’s Manual (P/N 50186).
