I have an '05 250 HP E-tec and the bolts that hold the lower unit to the main shaft are rusting. Is this normal? My motor is white which is why it is noticeable. I thought stainless didn't rust... thoughts? I think I caught electrolysis the day after it happened but should this have happened?
been in salt water? that trim tab looks bad? whatever is eating the trim tab is rusting the bolts likely.

Do I have to replace the bolts or only the anode? Boat has never been in salt water.
You have some type of electrolysis going on there. Thats not normal does the motor stay on a lift???
what doe the anode look like? is it missing?
