Sorry responding so late. You will be overshooting trying for -1100mv. Realistically you need no more than -700mv or so depending on the quality of the materials. I suspect your propellers (probably Nibral) are what you are aiming to protect from the stainless-steel under your boat and they range between -310 to -420. ABYC indicates protecting above -1100mv may be detrimental to antifouling paint coatings.
2.5.1 A cathodic protection system shall be capable of inducing and maintaining a minimum negative shift of 200 mV relative to the corrosion potential of the least noble metal being protected.

Re - surveyor - when I got the report he had the engines identified as raw water cooled. Useless.
