Your outboard is equipped with one or
more sacrificial anodes that protect it
from galvanic corrosion. Disintegra-
tion of the anode is normal and indi-
cates it is working. Check each anode
periodically. Replace anodes smaller
than 2/3 their original size. See an au-
thorized BRP dealer for replacements.
1. Anode
Galvanic corrosion destroys under-
water metal parts and can occur in
fresh or salt water; however, salt,
brackish, and polluted waters will ac-
celerate corrosion.
Metal-based anti-fouling paint on the
outboard and the use of improperly in-
stalled shore power in the area of your
moored boat will also accelerate
corrosion.
