PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
Check the following items:
(1) The fuel hose for kinking,
collapsing or a loose connection.
(2) The control lever for smooth
operation.
(3) The switch for correct operation.
(4) The stern bracket for damage.
(5) The tool kit for missing spare
parts and tools (page 115).
(6) The anode metal for damage,
looseness or excessive corrosion.
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.
The possibility of corrosion damage
is increased if the anode is painted
over or allowed to deteriorate.
Parts/materials which should be
installed on board:
• Owner’s Manual
• Tool kit
• Spare parts: spark plugs, engine oil,
spare propeller, castle nut, washer,
cotter pin.
• Spare emergency stop switch clip.
• Other parts/materials required by
laws/regulations.
