Corrosion and Corrosion Protection
Whenever two or more dissimilar metals (such as 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 corrode. This is
known as galvanic corrosion and, if not controlled, it will, in time, cause the
need for replacement of power package components.
Refer to the Quicksilver booklet, Everything You Need to Know About
Marine Corrosion for more corrosion information.
