(6)

The anode (sacrificed metal) helps to protect the outboard motor from corrosion damage; it must be exposed directly to the water whenever the outboard motor is in use. Replace the anodes when they have been reduced to about two-thirds of their original size, or if they are crumbling.

Parts/materials which should be installed on board:

• Owner’s Manual

• Tool kit

• Spare parts: spark plugs, engine oil, spare propeller, castle nut, washer and cotter pin.

• Spare emergency stop switch clip.

• Other parts/materials required by laws/regulations.

The possibility of corrosion damage is increased if the anode is painted over or allowed to deteriorate.
