Sea Ray strongly urges you to fully comply with
the manual provided by the generator manufacturer.
The generator is warranted separately by the

the recommended maintenance and warranty
schedule in your Generator Operator's Manual
included in the Owner's Manual Packet. Generator

affect claims made under generator manufacturer
separate warranty.
The generator is located in the aft area of the engine
room. Generator diagnostics can be displayed on
the SmartCraft ® system View located on the control
station.
The procedures for starting, stopping and switching
between generator and shore power are explained
in Section 3 - Using Your Boat , pages 3.8 thru 3.10

LECTROLYSIS
Electrolysis corrosion of metals on power boats
can result in serious deterioration. The boat owner
must be aware of the possibilities of galvanic action
(the deterioration of metals due to dissimilar
characteristics when placed in salt water), and/or
electrolysis. It is the owner's responsibility to check
for and replace damaged parts due to galvanic
deterioration. Refer to your Sea Ray
investigate the source of stray corrosive currents.
Zinc plates are installed on the transom and trim
tabs (Figure 6.24.2) to protect underwater
hardware. Zinc, being much less "noble" than
copper based alloys and aluminum used in Sea
Ray ® underwater fittings, will deteriorate first and
protect the more noble parts.
Replace zinc sacrificial anodes if they are corroded
50% or more.
Zinc anodes generally require replacement
about once a year. (In salt water areas, replace
every six (6) months). The need to replace anodes
more frequently may indicate a stray current
problem within the boat or at the slip or mooring. If
zinc anodes do not need replacing after one year,
they may not be providing proper protection. Loose
anodes or low-grade zinc may be the problem.
DO NOT PAINT BETWEEN THE ZINC AND THE
METAL IT CONTACTS, AND DO NOT PAINT
OVER THE ZINC.
