Product catalog summary
Product Overview:
The MPS Shaft Grounding Strap is designed to enhance the connection to a vessel's drive shaft using high-quality marine-grade stainless steel and tinned copper braid. It is easy to install, service, and can be retrofitted or installed by manufacturers. The product code is MPS-SS07.
Key Features:
  • Spring tension for easy installation and use.
  • Unmatched surface area connection to shafts.
  • 316 marine grade stainless steel pivot arm and mount.
  • 11 positioning holes to suit most drive shafts.
  • Spring-loaded locking pins for easy adjustment.
  • Tinned copper braid strap and backup bonding connection.
Functionality:
The Shaft Grounding Strap is part of a Vessel Bonding System, which connects submerged metal parts to ground their electrochemical potential. It maintains an earth connection between shafts, propellers, and the bonding circuit, negating the need for shaft anodes.
Installation Instructions:
  1. Ensure all components are available and find a suitable location on the shaft.
  2. Clean the shaft and wrap the braided strap in the direction of shaft rotation.
  3. Secure the hull mounting bracket and apply the supplied petroleum jelly.
  4. Attach the spring and connect the bonding wire to the shaft strap and hull mount.
  5. Ensure connection to the Vessel Bonding System and attach the installation tag.
Maintenance Instructions:
Regular visual inspections and lubricant reapplication are recommended. Testing by a qualified Marine Electrician using the MPS CP Monitoring and Test Kit is advised. Non-compliance with MPS recommendations voids the warranty.

The unit is easy to install and service and has very few moving parts. The non-cutting lubricant supplied resists shaft scoring and the unit can be retro fitted at any time or installed by a vessel manufacturer. Proper fitting of an MPS Shaft Grounding Strap negates the use for shaft anodes when fitted as part of a Vessel Bonding System. Vessel Bonding Systems: A Vessel Bonding System connects each of the submerged metal parts allowing their individual electrochemical potential to be grounded/earthed via a circuit. The Shaft Grounding Strap maintains an earth connection between shafts, propellers and the bonding circuit. All other Through Hull Fittings are also connected including the Maddox anode.

Marine Protection Systems Installation Instructions: Shaft Grounding Strap should only be installed by persons competent in fitting, maintenance or repair of marine vessels. Ensure all component parts are available. Find a location on the exposed stainless steel shaft which is free from any rotating parts or couplings and in close proximity to a suitable hull or other mounting location. Clean the shaft with a dry soft cloth to remove any residual material. Wrap the braided strap over the shaft in the same direction as the shaft rotation when in drive. Connect the other end of the bonding wire...
