Corrosion Protection
Whenever two or more dissimilar metals 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
Marine Corrosion Protection Guide
(90-88181301).

Antifouling Paints
In some areas it may be advisable to paint the bottom of the boat to help prevent marine
growth. Contact your authorized Cummins MerCruiser Diesel dealer / distributor for
