Does any one have problems with legs in salt water ?
I have an old Corniche with 290 DP (1988), she is currently semi-retired berthed in a fresh water canal, only venturing into salt water for the summer season/holidays. The ZINC anodes on both the legs and engine are seriously depleted each year.
If I keep the old girl in salt water year round will I need to change the anodes every 6 months or does the corrosion slow down as the sea temperature cools in the winter?
Aluminum props also suffer will stainless help or speed up the leg problem?
Shore power in or out ?
