I changed my impeller 2 weeks ago, since then I had the boat out on 2 different lakes for a few hours, each time I get back there is a buildup of what appears to be corrosion on the motor and some on back of the boat.
I cleaned this off after the first time, it took a bit of scrubbing, then when I took it out again it came back, any idea what it could be?
The motor is a 2010 Mercury Optimax 150, the impeller has been changed several times, this is the first time I changed it.
I would not think corrosion would start with just a few hours of running time but maybe i'm wrong.

Ate your annodes missing, painted, or covered in grease?

corrosion on the lower unit in the area where it sits in the water? could be a ground issue

The annodes are fine, after researching I believe it is a ground issue, now how do I find it?

Probably got a wire making contact with it somewhere. You got a tin boat?

It is a tin boat, Tracker Targa v18 combo and all the wiring is not east to get to.
I am trying to determine if the issue with the motor or boat.
