I’ve been a Christian for a pretty long time. I have heard many good analogies for Christ, but Him being my anode is a great one. Thanks for sharing His truth!
Christ was obviously a middle eastern man. If he were introduced to you all, he would be instantly put to death. Don't use terms like that, especially if you were to persecute a middle eastern man even if he said he was Jesus but trump told you he wasn't. Catch my drift?
The term "Christian" is definitely not what I was taught it was... Especially nowadays. It's basically a term for all knowing oppressor. But if you guys want, let me hear your explanation of what "Jesus Christ" is... Christians are no different than Muslims, logically and systemically...
So informative. I'm looking at buying a boat in the next year or so and the content you provide is astonishing. So much more to it than oil and impeller changes every x hours. Keep it coming!
Nice tips on how to protect against galvanic corrosion. This is a subject that most boaters should be very aware of. The damage it causes is expensive with a capital E!
The most overlooked cause of galvanic corrosion in these circumstances is missing/broken grounding straps, there should be a ground strap from lower unit to upper unit, engine block to upper unit, lower unit to the boat (if metal) and a ground strap between the engine case and trim unit(s) and the engine components such as intake manifold to block to bottom end to engine case, any parts that have a gasket between them should have ground straps between them This will help prevent 95% of galvanic corrosion!!!
Excellent corrosion video. Exactly what I have been looking for. My outboard bracket needs to be replaced because it has corroded so much. The anode closest to the bracket had infinite resistance and the metal under the anode was painted preventing the anode from protecting it. I am going to invest in that reference electrode! Thank you.
Ty for the excellent lesson. I am a rather new boater and always wondered how these worked. All the people Ive asked never explained it like you did. TY
“Bravo” on this corrosion video!…remember there are 3 different types of anodes depending on the type of water you operate in: Zinc, Aluminum, or Magnesium. Don’t forget to bond all your through hulls to a separate anode since any outboard, I/O, or inboard unit anode will not handle that corrosion load. Also be careful of dock electrical connections and improperly isolated corrosion protection from your neighbor’s boat. Check ABYC standards for more detailed info.
Up here in Northern California most of the harbors are HOT with most of the commercial fishing boats bleeding electric currant into the water. If you berth in a harbor you can assume it's HOT by looking at all the rat boats there that have mis-wired systems. They're so HOT that people jumping in the water around their boats have been killed.
Awesome video as always! And you are 100% right, Jesus is the one who suffered our penalty so that we dont have to. God bless you :) Greetings from Brazil.
NICE!!!!!! MOST LAND LOVERS HAVE NO CLUE WHAT A SACRIFICAL ANNODE IS OR DOES...DONT FORGET TIE UPS,EVERY VESSEL IS SHARING THERE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS,XCELERATING THE DETERIATION OF ANNODES AND DRIVES,AND PRICEY BLADES!!!!!!
Dumb question. Any time you run anything in salt water for any amount of time flush it out. Even if ran for only 5 minutes. Make sure they are clean. If salt builds up in them it’s a pain in the ass to get out. If you ever have to replace the impeller, bearings, the wear ring, or seals it can turn it into a nightmare. We bought a used jet ski that was in salt water that needed a new shaft bearing and the salt turned a 2 hour job into a job that took all day. On top of seizing parts together salt can also clog cooling passages which can cause it to blow up. See Doos are the only ones with closed loop cooling systems.
@@UltraMagaFan Thanks for the info. But I was not talking about flushing etcetera, I know all about that. I was referring to the topic of the video, "zinc anode"
@@anotherpewtertahoe Your logic is stupid. We’re here to learn about boating like you said. I answered his question. It doesn’t matter if i think it’s dumb or not.
@@clemensboelen1755 My bad. That should have been obvious. We own Yamahas which don’t have them so it slipped over my head. As far as I’m aware Sea Doos are the only jet skis with anodes. As long as you wash it off and flush it after use they should be fine. I’m not sure how often you’re supposed to replace those things. I’d just keep track of the condition of them and replace them whenever you think is fit. They’re cheap they only cost $15.
Can you please cover how to remove bolts that have been in salt for a long time, such as the bolts holding the zincs to your motor for that past several years (20+ in my case). :)
You will need to break the physical bond that corrosion had created between the bolt and the hole the bolt was screwed into. To break that mechanical bond corrosion has on your bolt(s) use penetrating oil, an impact wrench, heat (there are some cool induction heating tools designed for this purpose on the market in addition to gas flame) , patience, incremental tightening and loosening. Make sure your removal tool that you are going to grab the head of the corroded bolt fit correctly on the bolt heads to be removed. In some cases the bolts are going to snap/break and then you are going to get into extracting broken bolts. If that happens you are looking at drilling, tapping and possibly welding. When you do get the corroded bolt out clean out the hole and threads and lubricate the new bolt with something that is compatible with the metal(s) and designed to discourage corrosion. Going forward it helps to keep up on annual maintenance including checking your sacrificial anodes. Eventually corrosion is going to win. Corrosion keeps boat maintenance technicians employed.
I operate a small repair business in NE Ohio, so no salt water to be had. However, some of my customers have heavy corrosion on their lower units over others. Even in the same body of water in some instances. Would a battery disconnect on the ground side of the battery be of any benefit?
Theoretically, yes, however, it is my understanding that just being in close proximity to other boats on the water, some of which 'leak' current from shore supply, can cause issues as well. Probably someone with more advanced knowledge can weigh in....
If it is stray current corrosion, then it would depend on the source of the stray current. There are other sources of the problematic stray current in addition to your customer's on board electrical system. If the boat is in a marina then the source of the current could be dock/shore power or some other boat or boats leaking current into the water. Getting their boat out of the water would solve the issue. Otherwise you will have to track down the source of the stray current and isolate your customer's boat.
Plot twist: Once the anode has been sacrificed and completely destroyed, it then rises up from its current resistance and becomes an anode that not only receives all destructive current from every frequency that exists, it makes itself available to every boat that ever existed, that any boat that docks in the anode's waters by faith, signs up to recieve it's value, and shall never corrode, but every molecule that makes up that boat, shall be renewed to never ever break down sgain and the anode will never deteriorate. But the boats that refuse to dock in its waters shall be destroyed with an everlasting destruction. 🤷♂️
Should a 36v trolling motor battery be bonded with the negative system of the 12v outboard and 12v house batteries, and why/why not? I've read many interpretations but would like to hear your take. Stray current, galvanic corrosion, voltage potential VS differential are all reasons for or against.
Have you noticed that Mercury’s tend to have less corrosion issues than other manufacturers (eg Yamaha)? My 2001 Optimax was used in sw it’s whole like and has zero issues. Even the internal water passages look new. That was not the case for my 1997 yamaha. Bolts were constantly breaking.
Had a 1997 Merc 225 EFI for 20 years with only corrosion on power trim motor housing. Great engine. Current 2018 150 EFI Merc has extensive corrosion on power trim motor housing. I flush and rinse the entire motor with fresh water extensively after each use. Talking to Merc about the problem. Their initial response was that their corrosion warranty typically only covers corrosion that impacts function of the component, but they want me to send pictures. Amazingly, the trim motor still works but it is crumbling on top. I have to believe many others are having the same problem.
I still don't understand why the Yamaha 425's have to have 16 internal engine anodes. while it has 2 massive anodes outside. I can understand the 8 that are easy to service but the other half is ridiculous.
i understand you about your faith , but this is about boating please separate the two there are others that do not believe as you do (not me) keep your site here neutral and you will not loose viewers .
Good job putting Christ out there… I find it funny that people are making comments that they don’t want religion or politics in your channel. The United States has gotten so far from God that many don’t even know what “born again means”…

Question:
Should I be concerned with my jet skis if I only run them a couple of hours a time in salt water?
Thanks.
