My diver tells me I have active electrolysis on the props of my Volvo DP. Any ideas on how to eliminate this? The zincs are of course good and there is a Galvanic Isolater on the boat. Reading online this seems to be a issue with the volvo drives.

The problem could be a dock neighbor with a bad or no Galvanic Isolator.

Check out EHOW.COM for checking electrloysis on your boat.
Very simple method to see if your leaking voltage or its your our neighbors.
May want to swich over to aluminum anoids instead of zinc ones.
Good luck

Make sure your diver replaces those zincs. My diver SUCKS and it has cost me way too much money on electrolysis problems!
