Removal
Painting or coating the anodes will
def eat their purpose and will lead to
rust and corrosion damage to the
outboard motor. The anodes must be
exposed to the water in order to
protect the outboard motor.
If the choke knob returns to the OFF
position by itself, you can adjust the
friction that holds the knob in the ON
position.
To adjust the friction, squeeze the
rubber cover to grip the adjusting nut
and turn it clockwise to increase the
friction. Do not force the adjusting
nut. If it is too hard to turn by hand,
contact your Honda Marine dealer
for assistance.
Before replacing the propeller,
remove the clip from the engine stop
switch to prevent any possibility of
the engine being started while you
are working with the propeller.
The propeller blades may have sharp
edges, so wear heavy gloves to
protect your hands.
Operating the outboard motor at
higher altitudes will reduce available
power. This may require decreasing
the propeller pitch to maintain correct
engine RPM.
