Inspecting and replacing anode(s)

Yamaha outboard motors are protected from
corrosion by sacrificial anodes. Inspect the
external anodes periodically. Remove scales
from the surfaces of the anodes. Consult a
Yamaha dealer for replacement of external
anodes.

CAUTION:

ECM00720

Do not paint anodes, as this would render

them ineffective.

NOTE:

Inspect ground leads attached to external
anodes on equipped models. Consult a
Yamaha dealer for inspection and replace-
ment of internal anodes attached to the pow-

er unit.

EMU29390

Checking top cowling

Check the fitting of the top cowling by push-
ing it with both hands. If it is loose have it re-
paired by your Yamaha dealer.

EMU29400

Coating the boat bottom

A clean hull improves boat performance. The
boat bottom should be kept as clean of ma-
rine growth as possible. If necessary, the
boat bottom can be coated with an anti-foul-
ing paint approved for your area to inhibit
marine growth.
Do not use anti-fouling paint which includes
