Purpose
If the boat is operated in salt, polluted or brackish waters, even
temporarily, the boat is equipped with a transom-mounted
aluminum anode to prevent damage to those metal parts
coming in contact with the water.
The aluminum is, by design, self-sacrificing. It is slowly eroded
away by electrolytic action and requires periodic inspection for
deterioration. When the aluminum has eroded to approximately
one-half (1/2) of its original size, it must be replaced to continue
protection, or damage to other metal parts may result.
Location
The anode is mounted on the transom.
Operation
There is no operation required. Boat owners should periodically
examine the anode to determine how much erosion has
occurred and consult an authorized Aviara dealer to determine
the appropriate time to replace it.
Engine Mounting
Height
Removing the engines should only be performed by an
authorized mastercraft dealer. When re-installing an engine on
an AV36 or AV32, the engines should be mounted using the
second and fourth holes on the motor’s mounts.
