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.
Replace the anode when it has been
reduced to about half its original size,
or if it is crumbling.
The anode is located on the
antiventilation plate. It is made of a
sacrificial material that helps to
protect the outboard motor from
corrosion.
Inspect the recoil starter rope, and
replace it if it becomes frayed.
Always keep the emergency starter
rope on the boat in case the recoil
starter rope fails.
Unscrew the fuel hose connector
by turning it counterclockwise,
then remove the fuel hose
connector and fuel tank filter from
the tank.
Clean the filter in nonflammable
solvent. Inspect the fuel tank filter
and the connector O-ring. Replace
them if damaged.
Reinstall the filter and hose
connector in the fuel tank. Tighten
the hose connector securely.
