    mercathode anode and barnacles

    Has anyone else had problems with barnacles on the mercathode unit under the gimbal housing? If you can't put any type of paint, antifouling, or other on it, what do any of you do to keep control of the growth? I had a heck of a time this year cleaning it.

    shift cable or throttle control

    I have twin 7.4L Mercruisers with Bravo II drives. It has become harder to shift into gear and also once in gear you have to really push hard to throttle up or down. Could this be the throttle cable on the engine or the shift cable on the stern drive? The manual does not really troubleshoot...
