NOTE: Do not paint the 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 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
1. 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.
