It was not brought up to normal temp. I’ll clean it and run it this weekend and check it. I’ll keep you posted. Thanks for your help.

That’s what I’m hoping!

Hello, I ran it yesterday, in the slip and not under a load or above 1800 rpm. I saw no sign of anything leaking. I’ll run it out on the water this weekend and report back. Side note: Any ideas what normal engine water PSI’s should be? At idle, the port side is 4.5 and the starboard is 1.5. It...

I’ll fire it up this week and try and diagnose the problem and I’ll report back. Thanks for your input! Ricky

Thanks for the reply. I’ll investigate this week and let you know what I find out. Thanks for your input.

I haven’t had time to investigate yet. I will this week and report back. Thanks.

It’s rust.

Has anyone seen this before and what’s the recommend solution? Thanks in advance. Ricky

Ahhh very true. I’m new to all this electrolysis and dissimilar metals. Thanks for your help guys. Here’s a pic in her new home.

I understand. I read all about electrolysis. I had no clue about all that. I’ve ordered the correct anodes for fresh water and I’ll look into new bonding straps as well. I plan on adding those aftermarket skegs too. Thanks for your input.

Thanks for your input!

Will do. Thank you.

Thank for your reply. The boats very clean inside and out. By far the cleanest I’ve seen. That was the only concern on the survey and did get a great discount for the lower units. Should the outdrives be protected with paint like the hull?

Thanks for the info. Currently trailering her to her new home. Super excited for the summer.

Thanks for the replay. I’ll pull the props and check. Thanks.

Ha!! I see from the above pic.

Thanks for the reply. It will be kept in fresh water. I will pull the props and check round the seals. Shouldn’t these be painted like the hull to protect the outdrives? If so, what’s the best paint? Thanks.

Looking to purchase a 04 280DA. I had the survey done and here are some of the findings. The boat is over all in good shape minus a few things and then these lower units. They look past the point of being cleaned up, I’m quite certain they need to be replaced. Thoughts? TIA.
