STAINLESS STEEL COMPONENTS CORRODING
Cause
Special Instructions
Foreign matter (fishing line, marine
growth, etc.) covering the steel and
starving it of oxygen. This causes a
breakdown of the protective oxide film
and subsequent corrosion (known as
oxygen starvation corrosion). Burying
stainless steel in sand or silt can also
cause this problem.
Remove foreign matter and prevent
surfaces from being covered by sand
or silt.
STAINLESS STEEL PROPELLER CORRODING
Cause
Special Instructions
Continuity lost between propeller and
propeller shaft.
Clean the mating surfaces on the
propeller, propeller shaft and
attaching parts. If applicable, install a
continuity washer.

Cause
Special Instructions
The surface was not properly
prepared before paint was applied.
Sand the surface down to bare metal,
prime and repaint with Quicksilver
Spray Paint.
