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
Marine
Corrosion Protection Guide
