This is bad for an 06 Model!
You have any idea why this is happening?

My guess would be shore power


In the absence of anything else, I was going to guess stray currents
(which may well be from shore power) from the boat of a boater in a
nearby slip or dock.

Yet another reason to avoid outdrives! :)

Good guess but not in this case. No shore power, nobody nearby with
shore power, no stray currents etc. Volvo-Penta says they had a bonding
or adhesion problem with the paint they used on some recent outdrives.
We are working with them to get it repainted.


Ahhh...boating esoterica...my favorite category! No parts need replacing?
