Any know for a fact if its better to have your outboards in or out of the water when mooring in salt water long term like the majority of there life. the unknowing logical side of my brain tells me that down would be best, less exposure to oxygen in at least some of the outdrive but thats just some spinning of the gears inside my head.
The question comes from a dive trip Im on, one of the boats right here at my condo has his twins OB tilted up out of the water not something Ive seen that often. So the question came to mind. I also wonder if there are any adverse affects of having your OB tilted all the way up that long, if some of the fluids migrate away from places they should be and into places they shouldn’t so its now a two part questiion.
