ANTICORROSION ANODES
Galvanic corrosion destroys underwater metal
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 motor
and the use of improperly installed shore power in
the area of your moored boat will also accelerate
corrosion.
Your motor is equipped with one or more anodes
that protect it from galvanic corrosion. Refer to Fea-
tures for anode location. Disintegration of the an-
ode is normal and indicates it is working. Check
each anode periodically. Replace anodes smaller
than 2/3 their original size. See your Dealer for re-
placements.
IMPORTANT: NEVER paint the anode, its fasten-
ers, or its mounting surface. Painting will reduce its
corrosion protection.
