Metallic Component Protection; Exterior Finish Protection; Battery And Battery Connections - BRP Johnson J30TEL4SUA 2007 Service Manual

IMPORTANT:
Anodes that are not eroding may
indicate that the anodes are not properly
grounded. The anodes and mounting screws must
be clean and tight for effective corrosion protec-
tion.
For best anode performance:
•
Replace all anodes that have eroded or disinte-
grated to two-thirds of their original size.
•
After installation, apply some Gasket Sealing
Compound to the anode mounting bolt head.
•
Do not paint or apply protective coatings to
anodes or anode fasteners.
•
Do not use metal-based anti-fouling paint on the
boat or outboard.

Metallic Component Protection

Protect metal components on outboards from cor-
rosion. Use the following products to minimize
corrosion.
•
Anti-Corrosion Spray provides a heavy, waxy
coating to protect components.
•
"6 in 1" Multi-Purpose Lubricant provides a thin
film of anti-corrosion protection.

Exterior Finish Protection

Maintain the outboard's exterior finish to prevent
corrosion and reduce oxidation.
•
Use automotive wax to protect the outboard's
exterior finish from oxidation.
•
Clean regularly using clean water and mild
detergent soap.
•
Touch-up damage to painted surfaces promptly.
•
Protect moving components with appropriate
lubricants.
