MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT: If a boat is equipped with stainless steel after
planes, a large anode should be installed on each to handle the
increased galvanic corrosion potential.
Replace sacrificial anodes if eroded 50% or more.
Mercury Marine recommends using anodes sold through Mercury
Precision Parts only. Some other manufacturers of aluminum
anodes use alloys that are insufficiently pure to adequately protect
critical drive components for the duration of the anodes' expected
life.

In addition to the corrosion protection devices, follow these steps
to inhibit corrosion:

transom, copper or tin base paints can be used unless
otherwise prohibited by law.
