3. Pre-operation check list:
@Check the propeller, the shear pin, and the cotter pin to be sure they are
secure and undamaged.
@Check the stern bracket to be sure the motor is securely installed.
@Check tiller handle operation.
@Check the condition of the fuel cap and fuel cap gasket.
Replace the fuel cap and fuel cap gasket if they are cracked or damaged.
@Make sure you have the tool kit and spare parts with you (P. 27).
@Check the anode metal for damage, looseness or excessive corrosion.
The anode metal helps to protect the outboard motor from corrosion
damage; it must be exposed directly to the water whenever the motor is in
use. Replace the anode metal when it has been reduced to approximately
one half of its original size.

The possibility of corrosion damage increases if the anode metal is
painted over or allowed to deteriorate.
