INC NODES
Electrolytic corrosion of metals on power boats can
result in rapid and serious deterioration of metal
parts. You must set a regular schedule and look for
the possibility of electrolytic corrosion (the
deterioration of metals due to dissimilar
characteristics when placed in salt water). It is your
responsibility to check for and replace parts
damaged due to electrolytic corrosion.
To minimize electrolytic corrosion of the metals on
your boat, zinc anode plates are provided on your
boat to protect underwater hardware. Zinc, being
much less "noble" than the copper-based alloys and
aluminum used in underwater fittings, will deteriorate
first and protect the other metals.
Stern drives are fitted with zinc anodes on their lower
units (refer to your Engine Owner's Manual for their
locations). If your boat is equipped with trim tabs,
zinc plates are installed on each of the trim tabs.
Zinc anodes require replacement about every six
months, if the boat is operated in salt water. In fresh
water, the zinc anodes can be replaced about once
a year.
If the anodes deteriorate more rapidly than this, there
is probably a stray current problem within the boat
