2. If using copper or tin based antifouling paints, avoid any electrical
interconnection between the Mercury Marine product, anodic blocks, and
the paint by allowing a minimum of 40 mm (1.5 in.) unpainted area on the
transom of the boat around these items.
a - Antifouling paint
b - Unpainted area
IMPORTANT: Corrosion damage that results from the improper application of
antifouling paint will not be covered by the limited warranty.
NOTE: Do not paint anodes or the MerCathode system reference electrode
and anode, as this will render them ineffective as galvanic corrosion inhibitors.
PAINTING THE DRIVE UNIT OR TRANSOM ASSEMBLY
Paint the drive unit and transom assembly with a good quality marine paint or
an antifouling paint that does not contain copper, tin, or any other material that
could conduct electrical current. Do not paint drain holes, anodes, or items
specified by the boat manufacturer.
