Maintenance
16) Inspection of Anode
Do not coat anode with oil, grease or paint,
or the anti-corrosion function does not work
normally.
Since periphery of anode installation bolt is
corroded more than other areas, be sure to
retighten bolt on every inspection.
Inspection of Exterior
Check the anode 1 for buildup of scale and staining
1.
by grease and oil. Clean or replace if necessary.
2.
Replace the anode if volume is eroded to 2/3 of the
Check the Continuity
If the anode is not eroding, it may not be properly
grounded.
Follow the procedure below to check the anode.
1.
Check the continuity between the engine ground and
anode surface with a multimeter.
2.
If the resistance is very small or none at all, it means
that the anode is installed correctly. If the resistance
is large, remove the mounting bolt and after cleaning
the screw thread, install and inspect the anode
again.
17) Replacement of Anode
1.
Anode protects outboard motor from galvanic
corrosion (corrosion of metal due to very weak
electric current).
Anode is used in the gear case.
Replace anode if volume is reduced to 2/3 of new
part.
· Do not coat anode with oil or paint.
· Since periphery of anode installation bolt is
corroded more than other areas, be sure to
retighten bolt on every inspection.
