Recoil Starter Rope Inspection; Anode Replacement - Honda Marine BF8A Owner's Manual

SERVICING YOUR OUTBOARD MOTOR

RECOIL STARTER ROPE INSPECTION

Inspect the recoil starter rope, and
replace it if it becomes frayed.
Always keep the tool kit's emer-
gency starter rope onboard in case
the recoil starter rope fails.

ANODE REPLACEMENT

The anode is a sacrificial material
which helps to protect the outboard
motor from corrosion.
Replace the anode when it has been
reduced to about half its original
size, or if it is crumbling.
NOTICE
Painting or coating the anode will
defeat its purpose and will lead to
rust and corrosion damage to the
outboard motor. The anode must
be exposed to the water.
