Living boat in the water

[Germanivette2010]

Hi i live in miami where is salt water i have a maxum 3000 scr with hravo 2 what is your opinion or sujestion about living my boat in the water . If it safe for the outdrives ?

[Calguy]

Get a boat lift like Air Dock like I have.....or any other boat lift to get it out of salt water.
Your drive will last much longer. Salt water is the worst thing for any out drive...

[Germanivette2010]

The only thing is the marinas that rent spots wich belong to dade county dont let any lift installed

The key to good drive life is to keep it painted, no bare aluminum. Replace the anodes when they lose more than 50% of their mass. Use Mercruiser’s Mercathode. If on shore power install a galvanic isolator.

Use the boat often. Don't let it sit and rust away...

[Germanivette2010]

Ok thanks

I lived on my 3000 for 2 yrs or so both in FL and S Carolina. Use the boat and keep up on the regular maintenance. Salt water isn’t the greatest for ourselves, but mine has been in the water full time for the past 12 years with no issues.

Also, the 3000 did come with isolators already installed.

O ok thanks thats great

[Germanivette2010]

Did yours came with windlass if it did wich brand or model #

[jparsons121]

Lewmar

[Germanivette2010]

When you get a chance tell me wich lewmar it has cause i went to several local marine store and they told me different model number

[jparsons121]

Lewmar V700 Vertical

This model does not have a free-fall feature, so if you want that, the V1 series is an option.

O ok thanks for the advice
