corrosion causing, electrolysis . Maintain this anode in accordance with the maintenance
schedule in your engine manual. If you moor your Pro Line in salt water for extended
periods make sure to check the anti-corrosion anode often for operation. Make sure the
anode surface is exposed and not caked with corrosion and scale. If the anode is eroded
renew it.
