6.4.11 INSPECTING BONDING WIRES
Bonding wires are used to electrically connect the metal components, creating a common circuit
protected from galvanic corrosion by sacrificial anodes. Electrical continuity through the bond wires is
critical for effective protection of all metal components on your outboard(s).
Inspect the bonding wires by checking that each end is securely held by the retaining bolts and is in
contact with the metal component, and that the wire’s insulation is fully intact.
NOTE
Removing the PTT sacrificial anode is necessary for visual access to the inner bonding wire bolts.
Contact an authorized Cox Powertrain dealer if you identify any issues.
