who said Yamaha's need anodes?

[Noelm]

found this picture on a US site, pretty bad case of corrosion I reckon!

[FNQCairns]

Wow that would have fizzed!

[Noelm]

yep, not a lot of care with that motor, must have been left down in the water for a couple of years and never moved! I bet they would have got a surprise if they had got it started and put it in gear.

[Dicko]

Well that proves it. Everyone must now buy an Etec.

No, I don't own one, just following the trend of rest of the threads on here lately ;)

[Noelm]

yep, I will see if I can find a picture of a Suzuki 4 stroke in some sort of decay and post that as well, that should start some crap flying! but I guess that will be impossible, becuase there has never been one known to give trouble EVER!!

[FNQCairns]

He He that's pretty smart marketing on Suzuki's part, Found on the Suzuki website -"buy any 4cyl or bigger Suzuki and recieve a free clamp on Yamaha 30hp sacrifical anode" :)

new gearbox and she will be good for another 1000 hours

i have seen some of those old boats at jacobs well that look like that......some of their props are like one big ball of oysters

[tunaticer]

That would have to be a case of deliberate dipping in a washout bin of acid I reckon. If it was in the water it would have heaps of growth on it.

seen a similar situation when a houseboat had a short out causing rapid corrosion.

that would be my guess
