Worried about corrosion. What is happening here?

I only boat in fresh water and this is the condition of my drives. Is this normal? Do note that I wet slip my boat.

After every use I spray everything inside engine and jets with crc 656. Guys on site gave me the tip, everything looks brand new after 3 years.

Thats good to know but I wet slip my boat so it goes in June and comes out late September.

Normal.

I bought my 242 that was always wet slipped in fresh water. Both my pumps looked way worse. I ended up removing them, disassembling, and having them blasted and painted (because I didn't wet slip and had to see them all the time).

Not to derail the thread, but I have seen this product recommended as well. Do you just coat everything with the product? Engine bay and jets?

I wet slip in fresh water as well, usually from April/May until September/October. Mine look worse. I will probably have them cleaned and powder coated or anodized when I can't stand the look anymore, but so far......

Mine look the same after wet slipping

Have you tried scraping the surface oxidation off the anode? maybe it needs a better sacrificial surface area. I added a few anodes to my waverunner when this started happeneing, I also spray lube the hell out of my nozzles and clean-out plugs, with the convenience of not wetslipping

@Britboater recommended boeshield in one of his posts. I have been using this protectant for 3 months in my saltwater laden uses. I am impressed by its durability and protection.
