Corrosion Control Anode
The outboard has corrosion control anodes at different locations. An anode
helps protect the outboard against galvanic corrosion by sacrificing its metal to
be slowly corroded instead of the outboard metals.
Each anode requires periodic inspection, especially in saltwater which will
accelerate the erosion. To maintain this corrosion protection, always replace
the anode before it is completely eroded. Never paint or apply a protective
coating on the anode, as this will reduce effectiveness of the anode.
This model has an anode installed on each side of the gearcase and one on
the bottom of the transom bracket assembly.
