Coating on Jet Pump

[steelhorse454]

Guys-
I just noticed on my 2023 AR195 that the blueish/ gray coating is pealing off my pump, etc. ( see enclosed picture)
Is this something that normally occurs, or should this be re-coated? If so, what product?
Yes I boat in salt, but am very diligent/anal in washing, flushing, coating, using salt away, etc. etc.
Thanks in advance.

Well, we're in it together. I have the same issue. Started as small bubbling of the coating mostly around the the impeller housing mount. It is not as far gone as yours though. I'm not sure what to make of it either, electrolysis induced de-bonding... poor coating... improper prep...heat induced failure... Yeah not sure. I would also like to know what and how they applied the coating. Anyhow, i thought of re-coating mine next year while i have the pumps off.

Does nobody else have this issue on the newer boats?

2020, all freshwater, I don’t have the issue. I assume your sacrificial anodes still have tons of life left.

They do. I assumed it was a salt water thing....
