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?

The question I need answered is what to do about it. Volvo-Penta says it's
out of warranty after 1 year and its my problem now! That wrong to treat a
customer that way who bought a $35,000 Chaparral boat!
