Inspecting and replacing anode(s)

Yamaha outboard motors are protected from
corrosion by sacrificial anodes. Inspect the
external anodes periodically. Remove scales
from the surfaces of the anodes. Consult a
Yamaha dealer for replacement of external
anodes.

Do not paint anodes, as this would render

odes on equipped models. Consult a Yamaha
dealer for inspection and replacement of inter-
nal anodes attached to the power unit.
