BTW - does that thing have to be connected to the ground wire for corossion protection?

Lars,

They are made from 316ss; both parts and the welding rod. It’s pretty well impervious to just about everything. Unless you’re boating in hydrofluoric acid, you’re good.

Thanks. Brad.

Yes Sir - I read that in your description and I highly appreciate the precision this parts are made.

What you describe is exactly what I want to emphasize here - even the clamp on the bellows gets a connection to the anode system via the bell housing since the stainless material is the last thing which reacts - don't get me wrong - just want to be sure that the transom is not corroding away around your stainless pars.

Thanks

Lars

Lars,

To be honest, I can't say for sure that there is no potential for galvanic corrosion between the transom assembly and the fitting. But, realistically, aside from some minimal contact between the fitting, the C-clip and the transom plate, there is no contact between the fitting and the transom plate, as it's suspended on the O-rings. I would venture to say there is more potential for hard water and live animal buildup in the gaps between the parts than there is for any corrosion.

Thanks. Brad.
