2670 DENALI
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE ANY ENGINE OR DRIVE COMPONENT WITHOUT BE-
ING TOTALLY FAMILIAR WITH THE SAFE AND PROPER SERVICE PROCEDURES.
CERTAIN MOVING PARTS ARE EXPOSED AND CAN BE DANGEROUS TO SOMEONE
UNFAMILIAR WITH THE OPERATION AND FUNCTION OF THE EQUIPMENT.
1.2 Drive Systems Corrosion
Each outboard motor is a complete drive system with the gear case being just forward of the
propeller and connected to the power head with a vertical drive shaft. Other than the routine
maintenance outlined in the engine owner’s manual, there is little to be concerned with unless
the boat is to be kept in saltwater for extended periods of time. Then, the main concerns are
marine growth and galvanic corrosion.
Marine growth occurs when components are left in the water for extended periods and can cause
poor performance or permanent damage to the exposed components. The type of growth and how
quickly it occurs is relative to the water conditions in your boating area. Water temperature,
pollution, current, etc. can have an effect on marine growth.
Galvanic corrosion is the corrosion process occurring when different metals are submerged in
an electrolyte. Sea water is an electrolyte and submerged engine components must be properly
protected. Outboard motors are equipped with sacrificial anodes to prevent galvanic corrosion
problems. The anodes must be monitored and replaced as necessary. For locations and
maintenance, please refer to the engine owner's manual.
When leaving the boat in the water, tilt the motor as high as possible. This will decrease the risk
of marine growth around the cooling inlets, propeller and exhaust ports and damage from
galvanic corrosion.
DO NOT PAINT THE OUTBOARD MOTORS WITH ANTIFOULING PAINTS DESIGNED
FOR BOAT HULLS. MANY OF THESE PAINTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE
ENGINES. CONTACT YOUR PURSUIT DEALER OR ENGINE MANUFACTURER FOR IN-
FORMATION ON THE PROPER PAINTING PROCEDURES.
