Anode Replacement

ANODE
(G and T types)
The anodes are located on each side
of the gear case and the stern bracket
(G and T types). 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 half their
original size, or if they are crumbling.
