Anti-fouling paint
A clean hull is required to maintain your
boat’s performance. Boats moored in the
wa- ter should be protected from marine
growth (barnacles, mussels, and marine
plants). If approved by regulations for your
area, the bottom of the hull can be coated
with an anti- fouling paint to inhibit marine
growth.
Anti-fouling paints specifically formulated
for use on aluminum may be applied to the
out- board motor. The original Hidea paint
sur- face may be scuffed lightly before
applying anti-fouling paint, but do not
remove the orig- inal paint. Removal of the
original paint will increase the rate of
corrosion.
NOTICE
Anti-fouling paint for fiberglass and
wood may contain materials, such as
copper, graphite, and tin, that can cause
corro- sion if applied to aluminum boats
and outboard motor components. Never
ap- ply these types of paint to your
outboard motor because rapid corrosion
damage could occur.
Sacrificial anodes are attached to the out-
board motor to provide corrosion protection
and must never be painted.
NOTICE
Painted sacrificial anodes will not provide
corrosion protection.
Motor disposal requirements
Never illegally discard (dump) the motor.
Hidea recommends consulting the dealer
about discarding the motor.
Emergency equipment
Keep the following items onboard in case
there is trouble with the outboard motor.
A tool kit with assorted screwdrivers,
pli- ers, wrenches (including metric sizes),
and electrical tape.
Waterproof flashlight with extra
batteries.
An extra engine shut-off cord
(lanyard) with clip.
Spare parts, such as an extra set of
spark plugs.
Consult your Hidea dealer for details.
