SERVICING YOUR OUTBOARD MOTOR
Fuel Tank Filter
1. Remove the four 5 mm screws
using a flat screwdriver, then
remove the fuel hose connector and
fuel tank filter from the tank.
2. Clean the filter in nonflammable
solvent. Inspect the fuel tank filter
and the connector gasket. Replace
them if damaged.
3. Reinstall the filter and hose
connector in the fuel tank. Tighten
the four 5 mm screws securely.
The anodes are located on each side
of the gear case and on the stern
bracket. They are made of a
sacrificial material that helps to
protect the outboard motor from
corrosion.
Replace the anodes when they have
been reduced to about one third their
original size, or if they are crumbling.
Painting or coating the anodes will
defeat their purpose and will lead to
rust and corrosion damage to the
outboard motor. The anodes must be
exposed to the water in order to
protect the outboard motor.
