If  you  need  to  replace  a  fuse  or  breaker, 

use 

only the same amperage as the original

.  It is 

recommended that you carry spare fuses.

If a fuse or breaker is replaced with one of lower 

amperage, it will be insufficient to carry the electrical 

load of the equipment it is connected to and will 

cause nuisance fuse failure or breaker tripping.

If a breaker or fuse is replaced with a breaker or 

fuse of higher amperage, it will not provide adequate 

protection against an electrical malfunction and will 

create a fire hazard.

The  fuses  are  color  coded  according  to  the 

amperage and the rating is also marked on each 

fuse.

Electrolytic  corrosion  of  metals  on  power  boats 

can  result  in  rapid  and  serious  deterioration  of 

metal parts.  you must set a regular schedule and 

look  for  the  possibility  of  electrolytic  corrosion 

(the  deterioration  of  metals  due  to  dissimilar 

characteristics  when  placed  in  salt  water).    It  is 

your responsibility to check for and replace parts 

damaged due to electrolytic corrosion.

To minimize electrolytic corrosion of the metals on 

your boat, zinc anode plates are provided on your 

boat to protect underwater hardware.  Zinc, being 

much  less  "noble"  than  the  copper-based  alloys 

and  aluminum  used  in  underwater  fittings,  will 

deteriorate first and protect the other metals.

Stern drives are fitted with zinc anodes on their lower 

units (refer to your Engine Owner's Manual for their 

locations).  If boat is equipped with Mercathode

®

 

stern drive will not have zincs.

DANGER

!

GASOLINE VAPORS CAN EXPLODE

Use ONLY Marine-rated parts to replace such items 

as  starters,  distributors,  alternators,  generators, 

etc.  

Do not use automotive parts for these components 

or any jumper cables because they are not ignition-

protected and could cause a fire or explosion.

Use of higher amperage fuses or breakers is a fire 

hazard.

Use fuses and breakers having the same amperage 

rating as the original or as specified.
