2005 115 Optimax Premature corrosion
I just took my boat out for the winter and was surprise to find that the lower unit had a number of bubbles in the paint and the trim tab had started to corrode. The boat has been in a fresh water lake since May and shares a boat house with my pontoon and 14' which both have Mercury motors and show no sign of corrosion.<br />The dealer has checked to make sure there is no electrical potential and that the anodes are grounded correctly. He is now waiting for the mercury rep to take a look and give his opinion.<br />I hope this can be sorted as the motor has performed flawlessly and is very impressive.
