(1)
The anode metal helps to protect the
outboard motor from corrosion
damage; it must be exposed directly
to the water whenever the outboard
motor is in use. Replace the anode
when it has been reduced to about
two-thirds of the original size, or if it
is crumbling.
The possibility of corrosion damage
is increased if the anode metal is
painted over or allowed to
deteriorate.
