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.

c

C

Do not paint anodes, as this would ren-
der them ineffective.

NOTE:

Inspect ground leads attached to external
anodes on equipped models. Consult a
Yamaha dealer for inspection and
replacement of internal anodes attached
to the power unit.
