DTS Wiring System

To avoid the possibility of serious injury or death from loss of boat control, do not splice or probe into any wire
insulation of the DTS system. Splicing or probing will damage the wire insulation allowing water to enter the
wiring. Water intrusion may lead to wiring failure and loss of throttle and shift control.
• Verify the harnesses are not routed near sharp edges, hot surfaces or moving parts.
• Verify that all unused connectors and receptacles are covered with a weather cap.
• Verify that the harnesses are fastened along the routing path.

Corrosion Control Anode

Your outboard has corrosion control anodes at different locations. An anode helps protect the outboard against
galvanic corrosion by sacrificing its metal to be slowly corroded instead of the outboard metals.
Each anode requires periodic inspection, especially in salt water 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.
