Dts Wiring System; Corrosion Control Anode - Mercury 200 OptiMax DTS Manual

DTS Wiring System

Splicing or probing will damage the wire insulation allowing
water to enter the wiring. Water intrusion may lead to wiring
failure and loss of throttle and shift control. To avoid the
possibility of serious injury or death from loss of boat control,
do not splice or probe into any wire insulation of the DTS
system.
• Verify the harnesses are not routed near sharp edges, hot
surfaces, or moving parts.
• Verify all unused connectors and receptacles are covered
with a weather cap.
• Verify the harnesses are fastened along the routing path.

Corrosion Control Anode

Your outboard has corrosion control anodes at different
locations. An anode helps protect the outboard against galvanic
corrosion by sacrificing its metal to be slowly corroded instead of
the outboard metals.
Each anode requires periodic inspection, especially in saltwater
which will accelerate the erosion. To maintain this corrosion
protection, always replace the anode before it is completely
eroded. Never paint or apply a protective coating on the anode,
as this will reduce effectiveness of the anode.
