Anti-fouling paint

A clean hull is required to maintain your
boat's performance. Boats moored in the wa-
ter should be protected from marine growth
(barnacles, mussels, and marine plants). If
approved by regulations for your area, the
bottom of the hull can be coated with an anti-
fouling paint to inhibit marine growth.
Anti-fouling paints specifically formulated for
use on aluminum may be applied to the out-
board motor. The original Yamaha paint sur-
face may be scuffed lightly before applying
anti-fouling paint, but do not remove the orig-
inal paint. Removal of the original paint will in-
crease the rate of corrosion.

NOTICE
Anti-fouling paint for fiberglass and wood
may contain materials, such as copper,
graphite, and tin, that can cause corrosion
if applied to aluminum boats and outboard
motor components. Never apply these
types of paint to your outboard motor be-
cause rapid corrosion damage could oc-
cur.
Sacrificial anodes are attached to the out-
board motor to provide corrosion protection
and must never be painted.
Sacrificial anodes made from a different ma-
terial may be necessary for maximum corro-
sion protection due to your local water
conditions. Please consult your Yamaha
dealer.

NOTICE
Painted sacrificial anodes will not provide
corrosion protection.
