Patent ID: 7381312

Claim:
A corrosion protection system for a marine propulsion device, comprising: a source of electrical power; a ceramic conductor connected in electrical communication with said source of electrical power and disposed proximate a submergible portion of said marine propulsion device; and an electrically insulative support member, said ceramic conductor being attached to said electrically insulative support member, said electrically insulative support member being attachable to said submergible portion of said marine propulsion device; each of said ceramic conductor and said electrically insulative support member having a first face facing axially in a first axial direction toward said marine propulsion device, and having a distally opposite second face facing axially in a second opposite axial direction away from said marine propulsion device; a first post extending axially in said first axial direction from said first face of said ceramic conductor, said first post being electrically conductive and being electrically connected to said source of electrical power; a second post extending axially in said first axial direction from said first face of said electrically insulative support member, said second post being electrically insulative and being mechanically coupled to said marine propulsion device and supported thereby.
