LUBRICATION
Proper lubrication is important for the safe,
smooth operation and long life of each working
part of your outboard motor. The following chart
shows the lubrication points of your motor and
the recommended lubricant:
LOCATION
Throttle/Shift linkage
Propeller shaft
Trim ram pad (DF140A)
Swivel bracket
Steering bracket
LUBRICANT
Marine-grade
water resistant
grease
Marine-grade
water resistant
grease
(Grease Gun)
NOTE:
Before applying grease through the steering
bracket grease nipple, lock the motor in the fully
tilted up position.
ANODES AND BONDING WIRES
Anodes
The motor is protected from exterior corrosion
by anodes. These pieces of anodes control
electrolysis and prevent corrosion. The anodes
will corrode in place of the parts they are pro-
tecting. You should periodically inspect each of
the anodes and replace them when 2/3 of the
metal has corroded away.
NOTICE
If anodes are not properly maintained, under-
water aluminum surfaces (such as the lower
unit) will suffer galvanic corrosion damage.
• Periodically inspect anodes to make sure
they have not become detached.
• Do not paint anodes, as this will render
them ineffective.
• Periodically clean anodes with a wire brush
to remove any coating which might
decrease their protective ability.
