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. |

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! |

Talk to your dealer and mfg'er about giving you a free or one hell of a good deal on prepping, priming and repainting the outdrive. The mfg'er is in a better position to negotiate with Volvo, and the mfg'er and dealer are not interested in bad PR, so you really should be excellent position for a free paint job, or one at nominal cost. I would emphasize that they have an opportunity to highlight their quality and customer service, and you would be a great salesman for their product. At a last resort, I would let them know that if they refuse to help, you will put on a major push to highlight your problem with your dealer, mfg'er and Volvo. Including posts on every boating/fishing forum you can. I would also contact the local TV consumer advocate and Boat/US Dept. of Consumer Affairs. I had a minor problem with a new boat, and after sending a letter to the President of the company, he called me and after some negotiating, agreed to all of my requests. It was a win/win situation. |

Yes... all sal****er zinc anodes, grounding straps etc. This boat is on a boatlift 85% of the time which makes the thing worse. I am beyond words... |
