i am buying this boat as first owner.  The boat has 15 hours on it from test drives in a marina in San Diego.  I live in the midwest and will be totally freshwater.  It has  8.2L Mercruiser 380hp dts bravo III gas engines with the new seacore system.  The dealer is delivering in a week - would I need the anodes replaced?

    You need magnesium anodes for freshwater...San Diego so I'm assuming it was prepped for saltwater and so the anodes would be different.  Yes you would have to change them.

    Yes, as mentioned you will need magnesium anodes.  Sounds like a beautiful boat!  Congratulations!  Would love to see pictures when you get her in your home port.
