Owners just discovering crumbling skegs and drive housings are keeping their
fingers crossed that damages will be covered by MerCruiser's three-year
corrosion warranty. They have good reason. Others who are not so lucky
report spending well over $5,000 for replacement outdrives. MerCruiser will
not help if damages are caused by outside sources and only on rare occasions
will they help if damages occur after the warranty expires.

Thanks for the heads up on that. I'm going with a friend to look at a
boat with a Bravo 3 pf that vintage this coming weekend.

We'll check for all that.

Later,
