Galvanic Corrosion Protection - Formula Fastech Service Manual

GALVANIC CORROSION
PROTECTION
NOTICE
Refer to the propulsion unit operator's
manual for their requirements for galvanic
corrosion protection.
A self-sacrificing anode can be mounted to your
Formula boat to help prevent damage to metal
components from galvanic corrosion. The anode
will require frequent inspections. If the anode
shows deterioration of 50% or more, it must be
replaced for continued protection.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Do not paint an anode, its fasteners or its
mounting surface. Painting will reduce the
anode's corrosion protection capabilities.
Wash the entire boat after each use in salt water.
If you continue to operate in salt water, the entire
boat should be protected against salt water
damage as described in Exterior Cleaning, in
this section.
