I have run into a situation that requires a new design. The problem is with the trim indicator on a boat's outdrive. A sliding resistor type of sensor is coupled to a cockpit indicator showing the degree of drive tilt. Over time, all the wiring to this device and associated wiring in the boat is showing degradation; electrolysis, I suspect, is the problem. The copper conductors are actually disintegrating! I believe the rest of the boat wiring is suffering degradation by the looks of terminal blocks and contact points. What is needed is some type of isolator that keeps the boat's 12 VDC circuits out of the water. This is a fresh water environment also. This is a major problem with all boats that use this type of indicator. A visual indication of this is situation now on U-TUBE! I have been baned from commenting, so I know the industry is watching me. Comments and solutions are appreciated.
