Hello! I have mercathode system on my out drive. Green indicator light on the system is always flashing once every 4 seconds which means it is stabilizing. Batteries are always at 13 volts. I am in fresh water. It is supposed to turn solid green…never does. My mechamic says stabilizing is ok….any thoughts?

My understanding is that the system is designed for highly corrosive/galvanic/etc environments.Fresh water is extremely low on the list.Salt water extremely high on the list.I wouldnt be very concerned.Get opinion from Mercruiser certified tech and go from there.Charlie
