Recoil Starter Rope Inspection

RECOIL STARTER ROPE
Inspect the recoil starter rope, and
replace it if it becomes frayed.
Always keep the emergency starter
rope on the boat in case the recoil
starter rope fails.

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.
