• Paint the drive unit and transom assembly with a good
quality marine paint or an anti‑fouling 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.

Additional Corrosion Prevention Tips
• Spray the power package components on the inside of the
boat every two to three weeks with Corrosion Guard to
protect the finish from dulling and corrosion. External
power package components may also be sprayed.

• All lubrication points, especially the steering system and
shift and throttle linkages, should be kept well lubricated.
• Flush the raw water portion of the cooling system after each
use.
MERCATHODE
To protect the larger sterndrive engine packages from galvanic
corrosion, purchase this MerCathode kit, (PN 42600A18).
Galvanic Isoltaors
Low‑voltage galvanic current can be passed between neighboring
boats through the shore‑power electrical transmission lines.
Galvanic isolators block this low voltage current that can destroy
your power package. Ensure that the isolator is of high quality, and
rated to handle the amperage load of the boat and the shore‑power
connected to it.
Battery
All lead acid batteries discharge when not in use. Recharge every
30 to 45 days, or when specific gravity drops below battery
manufacturer's specifications.
Refer to specific instructions and warnings accompanying your
battery. If this information is not available, observe the following:
