Interesting read on the Mercathode concept. It was marina kept in fresh water. I doubt this boat was plugged into shore power, but others may have been. I used to have a bass boat and I would plug my trolling battery charger into A/C over night. Is that the kind of example that may create...
Well, I had reservations about that, but it seems light enough, doesn't seem to have eaten into the aluminum. I will paint the lower. Talking to the owners and a marina guy it was only ever in the same lake I plan to use it in. The anodes have been replaced. It is 23 years old.
Let me ask again, is this normal to not have the exhaust bellows clamped to the outdrive? Isn't this supposed to seal off the exhaust and keep water out?
Looking to buy a 1999 Chaparral 200 LE 4.3. In looking it over I noticed that it looks as though the exhaust bellows is not attached at the outdrive. See attached picture. Opinions please.
Thanks
