Grady has no less than 4 anodes in the engine, one on the lower unit, and one really large one on the transom bracket that is there for the purpose you speak of.
Grady did not add those, Mercury did. The transom Metal is so thin as to be laughable and one of the largest threats not to corrosion, but to the transom itself. More often than not, that part gets ignored until the transom is soft and needs to be replaced. The fact that I am swapping it out is not due to ignorance, it is due to the fact that IT catching salt and corrosion takes a far far back seat to my ability to properly wash, flush, maintain the boat.
So, I do not need to “read before I bleed”, I know exactly what I am doing.
If you guys spent less time telling me every single thing I suggest is wrong, you might learn something yourself.
Do what you want, but I am tired of having every suggestion I make thrown out as foolish.
Everything I do is very well researched. I make mistakes, but I am tired of having my suggestions continuously mocked.
I am not the first or only one to have done this”upgrade”.
Point in case, 3 individual posts in the past few months not only suggested the same thing, they also showed pictures of the work. Where was your name calling to them and their suggestions? I didn’t think so.
Every time I make a suggestion, someone feels the need to call me on it. Fine, that is okay, but follow your own rules and be respectful and stop calling my suggestions foolish. Not everything Grady does is followed by any of you 1100 percent. Anyone that says they have a 100 percent oem boat is wrong. We make improvments, so does Grady.
OP, sorry...did not mean to hijack. I was offering a suggestion. Do what you wish, and enjoy it no matter what.
