Has anyone ever heard stories of galvanic corrosion and not believed how much damage it can cause to underwater gear ??

It’s imperative to check your anodes for wear and to be of the correct type of metal as a rough guide replace if less than 50% remains

So here’s some pictures of a very expensive stern thruster that had the anodes ignored as it’s “to expensive “ to have it lifted and checked
The entire stern thruster gear box has gone with just the shaft hung on the prop with one of the props gone to davey jones locker!!!
So get them checked 😁

The connection was removed and sure enough coolant dripped out ,in this case it had not been forced down the wire and after a simple replacement all seams well and all of the associated codes have disappeared.
As a peice of advice, if you have or know anyone with these engines a good idea is to remove the connection and check for dampness and whilst disconnected remove the green rubber seal so if it should fail in the future it will drip harmlessly which hopefully, would be spotted during engine checks and preventing the pressure to build forcing fluid into the loom .
