Wow, had the the boat hauled out of the water for winter storage today.
The guy power washing said I had a problem.
I am in disbelief. 95 % of my outdrive zincs were gone.. All 4 of my trim cylinders had pits in them and one looked like a chunk of metal was ripped out. Also some corrosion on the bell housing and other area's. See pictures.
OEM cylinders are running at $500 a piece. SEI has units that run about $160. Anyone have experience with their products???
Now back to the electrolysis.. Is there any way I can check with a meter or something at the dock to see whats going on?
Lesson learned, I may get a mid seaso haul out going forward to change the zincs. I have had the boat for 5 season and NEVER seen this before.
Last, how can I protect the areas of the bell housing that have been chewed up from getting worse ?? Rustoleum paint??
Thanks!
