Painting or coating the anodes will
def eat 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.
Replace the anode when it has been
reduced to about two-thirds of the
original size, or if it is crumbling.
The anode is located on the
antiventilation plate. It is made of a
sacrificial material that helps to
protect the outboard motor from
corrosion.
Inspect the recoil starter rope, and
replace it if it becomes frayed.
Always keep the emergency starter
rope on the boat in case the recoil
starter rope fails.
Reinstall the filter and hose
connector in the fuel tank. Tighten
the four 5 mm screws securely.
Clean the filter in nonflammable
solvent. Inspect the fuel tank filter
and the connector gasket. Replace
them if damaged.
Remove the four 5 mm screws
using a flat screwdriver, then
remove the fuel hose connector
and fuel tank filter from the tank.
