SERVICING YOUR OUTBOARD MOTOR
Anode Replacement
v
(each
side)
The anodes are located on each side
of the gearcase. They are made
of
a
sacrificial material that helps to
protect the outboard motor from
corrosion.
Replace the anodes when they have
been reduced to about half their
original size,
or
if they are crumbling.
Painting or coating the anodes
will
defeat their purpose and
will
lead to
rust and corrosion damage to the
outboard motor. The anodes must be
exposed
to
the
water in order to
protect the outboard motor.
