SERVICING YOUR OUTBOARD MOTOR
Anode Replacement
ANODE
(stern bracket)
ANODE
(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.
piq
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.
