Each anode requires periodic inspection, especially in saltwater
which will accelerate the erosion. To maintain this corrosion
protection, always replace the anode before it is completely
eroded. Never paint or apply a protective coating on the anode
as this will reduce effectiveness of the anode.
The gearcase has two corrosion control anodes, one on each
side. A third anode is installed on the bottom of the transom
bracket assembly.

Battery Inspection
The battery should be inspected at periodic intervals to ensure
proper engine starting capability.
IMPORTANT: Read the safety and maintenance instructions
which accompany your battery.
1. Turn off the engine before servicing the battery.
2. Ensure the battery is secure against movement.
3. Battery cable terminals should be clean, tight, and correctly
installed. Positive to positive and negative to negative.
4. Ensure the battery is equipped with a nonconductive shield
to prevent accidental shorting of battery terminals.

the battery leads to the battery posts with hex nuts to avoid
loose connections.
