NOTE:
Consult your authorized Suzuki Marine Dealer
for inspection and replacement of internal
anodes attached to the powerhead.
NOTICE
If anodes are not properly maintained,
underwater aluminum surfaces (such as
the lower unit) will suffer galvanic corro-
sion damage.
• Periodically inspect anodes to make
sure they have not become detached.
• Do not paint anodes, as this will render
them ineffective.
• Periodically clean anodes with a wire
brush to remove any coating which
might decrease their protective ability.
BONDING WIRES
Bonding wires are used to electrically connect
the engine components so they exist in a com-
mon ground circuit. This allows them to be pro-
tected against electrolysis by the anodes.
These wires and their terminals should be
checked periodically to be sure they have not
been damaged.
