Inspecting and replacing anode(s)
Outboards outboard motors are protected from
corrosion by sacrificial anodes. Inspect the
external anodes periodically. Remove scales
from the surfaces of the anodes. Consult a
Outboards dealer for replacement of external
anodes.
CAUTION:
Do not paint anodes, as this would render
them ineffective.
NOTE:
Inspect ground leads attached to external an-
odes on equipped models. Consult a Outboards
dealer for inspection and replacement of inter-
nal anodes attached to the power unit.

Checking top cowling
Check the fitting of the top cowling by pushing
it with both hands. If it is loose have it repaired
by your Outboards dealer.
Coating the boat bottom
A clean hull improves boat performance. The
boat bottom should be kept as clean of marine
growth as possible. If necessary, the boat bot-
tom can be coated with an anti-fouling paint
approved for your area to inhibit marine
growth.
Do not use anti-fouling paint which includes
copper or graphite. These paints can cause
more rapid engine corrosion.
