Super User RoLo Posted June 14, 2020 Super User Posted June 14, 2020 Install a sacrificial anode Quote
Swagonmaster Posted June 14, 2020 Posted June 14, 2020 "Electrolysis is a thing with boats so give it something cheap to eat away" is the idea so sacrificial metal is the ticket. Quote

Super User Jig Man Posted June 20, 2020 Super User Posted June 20, 2020 There should be one on your engine. Quote
Swagonmaster Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 Maybe what we should ask is where do you see the electrolysis? Jig man is right, it may be in the normal places. Quote
Super User WRB Posted June 20, 2020 Super User Posted June 20, 2020 Fresh or salt water? Aluminum or glass boat? Stored tied to a dock? Electrolysis meaning electrical current causing corrosion in the form of white aluminum oxides? Zinc is more sacrificial then aluminum, you should have zinc plate anode bolted onto the outboard lower unit underwater. Trolling motor shouldn't have any electrical current going into the water unless you have a short. Your TM should have a zinc washer and screw on the skeg. Tom Quote
