IMPORTANT: Visually inspect for fuel leakage from the filter connections by squeezing the primer bulb until firm,
forcing fuel into the filter.
Fuse Replacement - Electric Start Models
IMPORTANT: Always carry spare 20 AMP fuses.
The electric starting circuit is protected from overload by a 20 AMP fuse. If the fuse is blown try to locate and correct
the cause of the overload. If the cause is not found, the fuse may blow again.
1. Open the fuse holder and look at the silver colored band inside the fuse. If band is broken, replace the fuse.
Replace fuse with a new fuse with the same rating.

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 salt water 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.
