Protection and Maintenance:

Galvanic corrosion occurs when dissimilar metals are immersed in an electrolyte (water), causing accelerated deterioration of critical drive components. Sacrificial anodes corrode preferentially, protecting expensive sterndrive metals. Regular inspection and timely anode replacement is essential preventative maintenance that helps minimize long-term repair costs and extends the service life of your sterndrive investment.
