I purchased twin 2015 140s for Seacat 25. At both service intervals, mechanic said the starboard engine showed considerable salt residue and some corrosion starting. Port engine fine. He said not unusually for cats that boil up water between the hulls. Told me to find a fix.
Another mechanic told me that I shouldn't have been sold 140s; that 150s and larger have baffles that prohibit this blow back of spray into the engine.
I read, however, on the Suzuki webpage, "In addition to all of these corrosion fighting features, the one-piece engine hood and baffled air induction systems on Suzuki outboard engines effectively seal the powerhead from saltwater".
What's the remedy? Buy new engines?
