Hardware on boats that are exposed to salt water can
deteriorate at a more rapid rate than hardware on boats that
operate in fresh water. Hardware that fails can cause other
components to fail, resulting in significant damage to the boat,
which can cause serious injury or death.
 Zincanodesareaxedtotheboatinseveraldierentareas.Asnoted
intheHow It WorksseconofthisOwner’sManual,theanodesareself-
sacricingtopreservetheboat.Althoughtheanodesshouldberegularly
checkedfordeterioraon,duringannualmaintenance,itmaybenecessary
toreplaceoneoralloftheanodes.
