SERVICING YOUR OUTBOARD MOTOR
RECOIL STARTER ROPE
ANODE
Long shaft type
Short shaft type
Painting or coating the anode will
def eat its purpose and will lead to
rust and corrosion damage to the
outboard motor. The anode must be
exposed to the water in order to
protect the outboard motor.
Always keep the emergency starter
rope on the boat in case the recoil
starter rope fails.
Inspect the recoil starter rope, and
replace it if it becomes frayed.
The anode is made of a sacrificial
material that helps to protect the
outboard motor from corrosion.
Replace the anode when it has been
reduced to about half its original size,
or if it is crumbling.
