Default Re: STAINLESS VS. ALUMINUM

Why? *Your zinc anodes will deplete before your aluminum. *I'm in a wet slip with stainless steel with no problems. *Any aluminum in the water is painted with outdrive paint (not bottom paint). *If you have real issues about your outdrive while in a slip, you may have stray currents and it might not be from your boat, but somebody else in a slip near you. *You should spin your hub before you tear up your outdrive. *I kept twin alpha ones in the nasty Florida salt water, however, they were stripped to bare aluminum and painted with zinc oxide paint and then outdrive paint with no problems. *A big issue in warm water is barnacles. *I've run them both and it ain't just bling. Just my opinion, but I'll take stainless. ;D
