Corrosion protection, checking and
changing
Check the sacrificial anode (1) on the stern drive and
the three sacrificial anodes (2) on the propeller regu-
larly. Replace with new anodes when approximately
1/3 of an anode has corroded away.
When the boat is stored ashore, corrosion protection
deteriorates due to oxidization of sacrificial anodes in
contact with air. Even new anodes may have surface
oxidation. Before launching the sacrificial anodes must
be cleaned with emery cloth.
IMPORTANT!
Use emery paper. Do not use a wire brush or other steel
tools when cleaning, as these may damage the galvanic
protection.
•
Zinc in salt water.
•
Magnesium in freshwater.
•
Aluminum when the boat is used primarily in salt
water and sometimes in brackish water
Remedy any damaged stern drive paintwork according
to the instructions in the Storage page 67 section.
Replacing sacrificial anodes
1 Remove the sacrificial anodes and thoroughly
scrape clean the contact surfaces on the stern drive
and propellers.
2 Apply thread locking fluid to the bolts to the propel-
ler sacrificial anodes.
3 Install the new sacrificial anodes and fasten them
to ensure good metallic contact.
Rubber Sealing
Check the rubber seal between the drive and the hull-
regularly for cracks and wear.
IMPORTANT!
The seal must be changed everyseven years or earlier
if it is defective. This workshould be carried out by an
authorized workshop.
