Checking Painted Surface of Motor
Check the motor for scratches, nicks, or flak-
ing paint. Areas with damaged paint are
more likely to corrode. If necessary, clean
and paint the areas. A touch-up paint is
available from a Yamaha dealer.

COATING THE BOAT BOTTOM
A clean hull improves boat performance. The
boat bottom should be kept as clean of
marine growths as possible. If necessary, the
boat bottom can be coated with an anti-fouling
paint approved for your area to inhibit marine
growth.
Do not use anti-fouling paint which includes
copper or graphite. These paints can cause
more rapid engine corrosion.
