Hello All,

It has been awhile since I posted or subscribed to this newsgroup. I
hope everyone is well and enjoying their boating season.

My season just took a setback ... as my boat (2000 SeaRay Sundancer 290)
is sitting on blocks, awaiting delivery of 2 new lower units for my Bravo II
drives. Severe corrosion, despite changing all sacrificial anodes, ....

I don't remember the particulars, but there was a thread some time back that
discussed this particular phenomenon. It seems that one of the major reasons
that this intense corrosion took place was the alloy that was used in casting
the lower units. I believe the manufacturer had adjusted with some owners and
there may be a recall.... or maybe it was just a civil suit or two... maybe a
class action suit..... I don't remember.

The suggestion to work closely with a dealer is a good idea... especially if
there is some monetary relief from the manufacturer....

Good luck....

A friend recently had a similar problem with a 2003 Sea Ray 260 Dancer.
Dealer fixed for free. Cause: Mercathode system hooked up backwards.
