ELECTROLYSIS PROTECTION
Sacrificial zinc anodes usually found on the outdrive
housing, trim cylinders or propshaft are used to protect
softer metals exposed to the water. Electrolysis attacks
the least noble metals first. Because zinc is a less noble
metal, it will decompose before other metals. Check these
zinc anodes periodically and have them replaced when
they are one third gone.
AVOID INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE!
ABRUPT TURNS ABOVE 30 MPH
MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL.
STEERING RESPONSE AT HIGH SPEEDS
CAN BE VERY SUDDEN.
ABRUBT TURNS MAY CAUSE YOU
TO CROSS YOUR OWN WAKE.
JUMPING A WAKE, SUDDEN TURNS, AND
INCREASES OR DECREASES IN SPEEDS
MAY BE DANGEROUS.
THE OPERATOR MUST ENSURE THAT ALL
PASSENGERS ARE SEATED SECURELY
BEFORE MAKING SPEED CHANGES.
