That’s awesome!! You hydro dip them?? If mine ever have to come off the engines I’d definitely be interested in doing that. How many people have asked if they’re carbon?? Any pics installed?

Agreed! When my CMI's fail (and they will if you believe the interwebz) that's what's going on the boat no question since I'll never have to worry about them again. My big tube CMI's sure are pretty but reliability and peace of mind go a long way... Besides that, I can do both sets of SM's for the price or less of one set of CMI's.
What is their weak link? Seawater stays in the tubes, eventually eroding them?
Do CMIs have replaceable zincs?
Hot salt water is not good on 316L. 304 is even worse, even at low temps.
