Does anyone know if there are still corrosion problems with mercrusier dual prop engines?

Question

I saw some internet articles about corrosion problem in 2002 engines...just curious if dual props are still having problems. I'm considering mercruiser 260 bravo III dual prop engine on a larson lxi228 bowrider? I'm considering Larson boats because they are within a mile of my cottage.

Answer 1

the sacrificial anodes are there for that purpose,  to be replaced when corroded,  it protects the rest of the engine.

Answer 2

the only corrosion you will have is the anodes that is normal wear and it is what they are designed for.

Answer 3

In your application, I would consider the Bravo 1, and maybe a larger motor.

(An Alpha 1 would even work)

Answer 4

have dual bravo 111 outdrives with twin props six years in saltwater, no problem. put on new anodes every year.
