SERVICING YOUR OUTBOARD MOTOR
If the buzzer sounds or water or
sediment accumulation is found in the
fuel filter with water separator,
inspect the fuel tank.
Clean the fuel tank and tank filter if
necessary. It may be necessary to
drain the fuel tank completely and
refill with fresh gasoline.

Anode Replacement
ANODE
(each side)
The anodes are located on each side
of the gear case. They are made of a
sacrificial material that helps to
protect the outboard motor from
corrosion.
Replace the anodes when they have
been reduced to about two-thirds of
their original size, or if they are
crumbling.
Painting or coating the anodes will
defeat their purpose and will lead to
rust and corrosion damage to the
outboard motor. The anodes must be
exposed to the water in order to
protect the outboard motor.
