Examinethesacricialzincanodes.Your authorized Axis dealer can oer guidance regarding
the appropriate reduction rate, as well as the time at which anodes need to be replaced. Please
note that because this is a natural function of operating in certain bodies of water, the cost of
replacement is not covered under warranty.
Flushing the engine is critical if the operating body of water was not clean. NOTE: In order to
avoid drawing raw water in addition to city water, you will need to close the raw water
intake ball valve.
The optional ush kit’s location is adjacent to the sea strainer. The sea strainer
requires frequent maintenance by the consumer; however, the ush kit should not
require any consumer maintenance.
Boat owners and/or operators should never make any
adjustments or attempt any maintenance to the ush kit;
doing so may void the warranty.
With the boat out of the water:
• Locate the ush kit connector on the starboard side of the transom, above the
swim board.
• Connect a gardening-type hose as shown in the accompanying photo to the ush kit system at
the connector, and turn on the fresh water at the source.
• With the boat shifter in neutral, start the engine and allow it to idle. During the entire process,
DO NOT EXCEED 1100 RPM on the engine. (The freshwater hose cannot provide suicient
water supply to adequately cool the engine at higher RPMs.) Also, never take the boat out of
neutral gear.
• After approximately two (2) to three (3) minutes of ushing, shut o the engine.
• Turn o the freshwater supply.
• Disconnect the hose and reinstall the cap on the ush kit connector.
