The anode (sacrificed metal) helps to
protect the outboard motor from
corrosion damage; it must be exposed
directly to the water whenever the
outboard motor is in use. Replace the
anodes when they have been reduced
to about two-thirds of their original
size, or if they are crumbling.
The possibility of corrosion
damage is increased if the anode is
painted over or allowed to
deteriorate.
