Corrosion Control Anode
Your outboard has a corrosion control anode installed to the gearcase. An
anode helps protect the outboard against galvanic corrosion by sacrificing its
metal to be slowly corroded instead of the outboard metals.
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.
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.
1. Remove the spark plug lead to prevent engine from starting.
