Anode Replacement
ANODE
(stern bracket)
ANODE
(each side)
The anodes are located on each side
of the gear case and on the stern
bracket. 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 one third their
original size, or if they are crumbling.
SERVICING YOUR OUTBOARD MOTOR
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.
Propeller Replacement
[Except for JRA type]
Before replacing the propeller,
remove the emergency stop switch
clip from the emergency stop switch
to prevent any possibility of the
engine being started while you are
working with the propeller.
The propeller blades may have sharp
edges, so wear heavy gloves to
protect your hands.
When replacing the propeller, put a
suitable chip of wood between the
propeller and the antiventilation plate
to prevent the propeller from rotating.
