Cleaning Care for the Powerhead (Saltwater Use)
If the outboard is operated in saltwater, remove the top cowl and
flywheel cover. Inspect the powerhead and powerhead
components for salt build‑up. Wash off any salt build‑up from the
powerhead and powerhead components with fresh water. Keep
water spray out of the air filter/intake and alternator. After
washing, allow the powerhead and components to dry. Apply
Quicksilver or Mercury Precision Lubricants Corrosion Guard
spray on the external metal surfaces of the powerhead and
powerhead components. Do not allow the Corrosion Guard spray
to come in contact with the alternator drive belt, belt pulleys or
the outboard motor mounts.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow lubricant or Corrosion Guard spray to
come in contact with the alternator drive belt or the belt pulleys.
The alternator drive belt could slip and be damaged if it becomes
coated with any lubricant or Corrosion Guard spray.
