Anode Replacement

Short shaft type Long shaft type
ANODE
The anode is made of a sacrificial
material that helps to protect the
outboard motor from corrosion.
Replace the anode when it has been
reduced to about half its original size,
or if it is crumbling.
Painting or coating the anode will
def eat its purpose and will lead to
rust and corrosion damage to the
outboard motor. The anode must be
exposed to the water in order to
protect the outboard motor.
