MAINTENANCE
90 eng
The anode requires periodic inspection, especially in saltwater
which will accelerate the erosion. To maintain this corrosion
protection, always replace the anode before it is completely
eroded. Never paint or apply a protective coating on the anode,
as this will reduce effectiveness of the anode.

Important:
•
Before replacing the anode, remove the spark plug cap
to make sure the engine will not start, then check and
replace the anode.
•
If the anode is worn out or no anode is fitted on the
outboard motor, aluminum parts will corrode more
rapidly which can cause paint to peel off and damage
the surface.
Propeller Replacement

WARNING
Rotating propellers can cause serious injury or death. Never
operate the boat out of the water with a propeller installed.
Before installing or removing a propeller, place the drive unit in
neutral and engage the lanyard stop switch to prevent the
engine from starting. Place a block of wood between the
propeller blade and the anti‑ventilation plate.
