Anode Replacement

ANODE
(stern bracket)
ANODE
(each side)
The anodes are located on each side
of the gear case. They are made of a
sacrificial material that helps to
protect the outboard motor from
corrosion.
Replace the anodes when they have
been reduced to about two-thirds of
their original size, or if they are
crumbling.

Painting or coating the anodes will
def eat their purpose and will lead to
rust and corrosion damage to the
outboard motor. The anodes must be
exposed to the water in order to
protect the outboard motor.
