water.
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.
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.
Salt Water Lubrication Points
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.

Trailering bracket and swivel bracket lubrica-
tion points (annually)
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.

Tilt tube lubrication 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.
