So I'd like to replace my anodes and paint my stern drives. Up until now I have paid my mechanic to do this but the task seems super straight forward. I'm stuck at step one which is identifying which anode kit to purchase. I have a 1993 270DA with twins. I'm a member of the searay owners club - they list my hull # and engine serial #s but not my stern drive.#s. The engine prop matrix lists that have Alpha 1 CR drives but doesnt specify if they are gen 1 or gen 2. Some vendors list the anode kits via serial number range for the sterndrives but I dont have that info. Other vendors go by date but claim gen 1 is 1991 or lower. Gen 2 is 1993.
Calling my mechanic will just net me a service call and charge. Any ideas on how to identify what I have? I can post photos if that helps. Boat lives in the water 24/7 so I need all the parts before I can plan a haul out.
Also - anyone install a galvanic isolator?
