For best anode performance:
• Replace all anodes that have eroded or disinte-
grated to two-thirds of their
original size.
• Do not paint or apply protective coatings to
anodes or anode fasteners.
• Avoid using metal-based antifouling paint
on
the
boat or outboard.
IMPORTANT: The anode securing screw should
be covered with silicone sealant.

to
anode
The multimeter should indicate little or no resis-
tance.
If resistance is high, check the following:
•
Remove the anode and clean the area where
the anode
is
installed.
• Clean
the mounting screws.
• Install the anode and test again.
MAINTENANCE
ANTI-CORROSION PROTECTION
Bonding Wires
Check bonding wires for breaks, corrosion
or
other damage. Clean wire terminals with solvent.
Replace
if necessary.

Metallic Component Protection
Protect metal components
on
outboards from cor-
rosion. Use the
following products to minimize
corrosion.
• Anti-Corrosion Spray provides a heavy, waxy
coating to protect components.
• "6
in
1" Multi-Purpose Lubricant provides a thin
film of anti-corrosion protection.
Exterior Finishes
Maintain the outboard's exterior finish
to
prevent
corrosion and reduce oxidation.
• Use automotive wax
to
protect the outboard's
exterior finish from oxidation.
• Clean regularly using clean water and mild
detergent soap.
• Touch-up damage to painted surfaces promptly.
•
Protect moving components with appropriate
lubricants.
