ANTI-CORROSION
PROTECTION

Sacrificial Anodes

2
Galvanic corrosion occurs in fresh or salt water.
Salt, brackish, and polluted water can accelerate
corrosion. "Sacrificial" anodes are intended to pro-
tect the underwater metal components of the out-
1
board from galvanic corrosion.
Inspect anodes and metal components below the
water level. Erosion of anodes is normal and indi-
cates that the anodes are functioning properly.
