BILGE
The bilge accumulates oil and greasy dirt over a
period of time. Usually, ordinary soap and water
will not remove the accumulation. The use of a
stronger detergent is necessary. Consult your
Formula dealer for recommendations on special
bilge cleaning products.
CORROSION AND
ELECTROLYSIS
Corrosion destroys underwater metal parts and
can occur in fresh or salt water. Salt, brackish
and polluted waters will accelerate corrosion.
Galvanic corrosion (electrolysis) can result in
serious damage to any metal component of your
Formula boat that is in the water. Galvanic
corrosion is the deterioration of metals due to
the effects of electrolytic action. When dissimilar
metals are immersed in a conductive fluid such
as salt water, an electric current is produced,
similar to the action of a battery. The softest of
the metals will be the first to become damaged.
Galvanic corrosion can occur in fresh or salt
water, however, salt, brackish and polluted
waters accelerate galvanic corrosion.

GALVANIC CORROSION
PROTECTION
NOTICE
Refer to the propulsion unit operator’s
manual for their requirements for galvanic
corrosion protection.
A self-sacrificing anode can be mounted to your
Formula boat to help prevent damage to metal
components from galvanic corrosion. The anode
will require frequent inspections. If the anode
shows deterioration of 50% or more, it must be
replaced for continued protection.
Wash the entire boat after each use in salt
water. If you continue to operate in salt water, the
entire boat should be protected against salt
water damage as described in
Exterior
Cleaning , in this section.
Do not paint an anode, its fasteners or
its mounting surface. Painting will
reduce the anode’s corrosion protection
capabilities.
