YES – all propellers (including Stainless Steel) and stern gear are susceptible. It is the owner’s total responsibility to ensure his bonding system is adequate for total protection at all times. Henleys certificate, supplied with every new propeller, includes a full material specification and batch number. There are well known EXPERTS in this field – please ask for their contact details if you are not sure. To view some photos of metal galvanic reactions please click this link.
