Sounds like stray current causing faster than normal sacrificing of the

You should also report the problem to marina management and to adjacent boat
owners so they may take appropriate action.
Thanks Butch - looks like I'll be tilting the motor from now on. This
is at a private residence and not a marina. The nearest boat is
approx. 70 feet away and lives in a sling (only seen it in the water
once in the last 10 months) and next closest is at least 250 feet
away. Only time I have connected to shore power is when I plug in my
on-board charger when I run the aerator overnight or if I've used the
trolling motor extensively. Any ideas where the stray current could be
coming from?
