    Post Bus bar under dash corroded

    Only half of the electric circuits are working on my 2018 Mojo, and it appears to be that the +ve Bus bar under the dash is so corroded that the connections are intermittent - I have just ordered a new bus bar to replace my existing one and i will give all the terminals a scrape and clean but.... Has anyone else had corroded bus bar issues? Any ideas why it happens?

    Similar to any battery terminal connection. It is oxidizing from the humidity in the air and having loose connections. You are already replacing it, good catch.

    I would use battery terminal spray protectant on it once you are done replacing to help reduce this problem. Also, do you put the boat cover on wet? The cover can vent but it traps a bunch of moisture, and takes a long time to fully dry out.

    Great advice about the spray. I didn’t know there was such a thing.

    I’m pretty careful about not putting it away wet, but I only got the boat this year, so don’t know about the original owner. But, again, thanks for the advice. Appreciated.

    Not sure about shipping or brands in Canada but this is the amazon link to what I have used in the past.

    Get some buckets of damp-rid too. Set them in when you cover the boat.
