SERVICING YOUR OUTBOARD MOTOR
RECOIL STARTER ROPE
ANODES
ANODE
(G and T types only)
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.
Always keep the emergency starter
rope on the boat in case the recoil
starter rope fails.
Inspect the recoil starter rope, and
replace it if it becomes frayed.
Replace the anodes when they have
been reduced to about half their
original size, or if they are crumbling.
The anodes are located on each side
of the gearcase and the stern bracket
(G and T types only). They are made
of a sacrificial material that helps to
protect the outboard motor from
corrosion.
