corrosion

I am looking at buying this prop listed, "new" and just thought this may be a new, but bad prop. What do you guys and gals think? Should I buy and paint or is the paint hiding corrosion? I am a totally new to boating. Thanks! They are selling for $25 no hub

Hey, I bought a sea ray 240 sundancer 2 years ago which has been great, everything has been working great (apart some minor things) and has been a lot of fun.

Okay, something I have been wondering about with exhaust manifolds regarding corrosion: On every exhaust manifold, there are large hex bolts/screws/nuts on the top and/or sides of them of them. Presumably, these lead to the cooling jacket of the exhaust, and are available for use as ports to...

All, Purchased a 2002 24' Sundancer last fall. The previous owner did not keep the anodes fresh and unfortunately while my surveyor mentioned that the drive need to be refinished, he did not warn me to the extent of issues with these drives when not cared for. My novice $$ training. I pulled...

Hi all - It's been a lot of years since I took general chemistry back in college. I have a Sea Ray 1983 Express Cruiser Twin CAT Diesel boat, and have noticed considerable pain-in-the-*ss accumulation of turquoise colored corrosion build-up on the sea valve inlets for (a) cooling the diesels...
