Haha, I remember seeing a post one hanging only by the shaft. Crazy, I wonder how long it takes to look like that?

Fresh water guys always think it's a salt water thing. Sorry not true. Is there any salt in IL?

That looks like a odd drive to me. Not so sure that fin is an anode as we're used to seeing.

Salt water had nothing to do w that as poster wrote in picture. That’s galvanic corrosion.

While probably technically true, corrosion cells are much more aggressive in salt water due to its lower resistivity.
