Atleast you could put OUR salt in your food. How 'bout that nice Virginy salt water?

Ok, now I have to go look at the boats. What plastic stuff are you talking about???

Mine are white also, the hull cleaner I use(On & Off Hull and Bottom Cleaner) does the same thing. But it does work!

Take a look at the fitting on the trim tabs that the indicator cables go thru and the tie straps on the steering ram hoses.

He's talking about the thru hull fitting that screws into the tab for the indicator cable. The plastic ones cost 23 bucks a pair and the stainless one 106 bucks a pair. Mercury makes both. The first time you put lime-away on the transom when your in Florida the plastic ones turn white and look like chit. The manufacters in the previous post use the stainless steel ones and AT uses the plastic. I've ordered some polished stainless blinged up ones to replace mine with from Stainless Marine. They come with a hose to cover the cable from the thru-hull to the tab connection and look really good. The OL at the Miami Show had them on it.

Is that the same water I was wading around in where we grounded at the marina?

I see that now.

But if we put all that stuff on at the factory, Mark wouldn't have anything to spend his money on! (except maybe Lori) :D
