Using Your E-TEC Outboard
Anti-Corrosion Anodes
DANGER
Your outboard is equipped with one or more
anodes that protect it from galvanic corrosion.
Disintegration of the anode is normal and in-
dicates it is working. Check each anode peri-
odically. Replace anodes smaller than 2/3
their original size. See your Dealer for re-
placements.
Contact with a rotating flywheel can
severe personal injury. Use
extreme care in re-fastening the fly-
wheel guard on the fastening tabs.
Keep hands, hair, and clothing away
from coming in direct contact with
rotating parts.
cause
If equipped, snap emergency stop switch lan-
yard to secure place on clothing. Proceed im-
mediately to nearest landing for service.
SALT WATER
Additional anodic protection for the outboard
has been provided for use in salt or brackish
water.
Upon removal from salt water, leave outboard
in a vertical position until its cooling system
has drained. During long periods of mooring,
tilt the gearcase out of the water, except in
freezing temperatures. Flush the outboard, if
desired. Refer to Flushing on page 34.
Galvanic corrosion destroys underwater met-
al parts and can occur in fresh or salt water;
however, salt, brackish, and polluted waters
will accelerate corrosion.
Metal-based antifouling paint on the boat or
outboard and the use of improperly installed
shore power in the area of your moored boat
will also accelerate corrosion.
Salt Water Lubrication Points
IMPORTANT: NEVER paint the anode, its
fasteners, or its mounting surface. Painting
will reduce its corrosion protection.
WEEDY WATER
Weeds block water intakes and may cause
your outboard to overheat. Weeds on the pro-
peller create vibration and reduce boat speed.

tion points (annually)
When operating in weedy water, run at slow
speeds and in REVERSE frequently to clear
weeds from the propeller and water intakes.
Check the water pump indicator often.
If REVERSE operation does not clear away
weeds, SHUT OFF the engine. Remove
weeds from propeller area and water intakes
before operating at higher speed.
