Corrosion and Corrosion Protection
Whenever two or more dissimilar metals (like those found on the sterndrive)
are submerged in a conductive solution, such as saltwater, polluted water,
or water with a high mineral content, a chemical reaction takes place
causing electrical current to flow between metals. The electrical current
flow causes the metal that is most chemically active, or anodic, to erode.
This is known as galvanic corrosion and, if not controlled, it will in time
cause the need for replacement of power package components exposed
to water.
Refer to the Quicksilver booklet, Everything You Need to Know About
Marine Corrosion for more corrosion information.
!
CAUTION
Avoid corrosion damage. Do not use magnesium anodes in salt water.
They will provide overprotection, resulting in a different electrochemical
reaction that will create hydrogen on the metal surface of the drive, under
the paint. This causes the paint to blister and peel completely from the
surface of the overprotected drive.
