Cleaning Care for the Powerhead (Saltwater Use)

If the outboard is operated in saltwater, remove the top cowl and flywheel
cover. Inspect the powerhead and powerhead components for salt buildup.
Wash off any salt buildup from the powerhead and powerhead components
with fresh water. Keep water spray out of the air filter/intake and alternator.
After washing, allow the powerhead and components to dry. Apply Quicksilver
or Mercury Precision Lubricants Corrosion Guard spray on the external metal
surfaces of the powerhead and powerhead components. Do not allow the
Corrosion Guard spray to come in contact with the alternator drive belt or belt
pulleys.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow lubricant or Corrosion Guard spray to come in
contact with the alternator drive belt or the belt pulleys. The alternator drive belt
could slip and be damaged if it becomes coated with any lubricant or Corrosion
Guard spray.
