1. Paint the power package.
2. Annually spray the power package components on the inside of the boat with Corrosion Guard to protect the finish from
dulling and corrosion. You may also spray external power package components.
3. Keep all lubrication points, especially the steering system, shift, and throttle linkages, well lubricated.
4. Flush the cooling system periodically, preferably after each use.
Continuity Circuit—Bravo Sterndrive
The transom assembly and sterndrive have ground‑circuit wires to ensure good electrical continuity between the engine,
transom assembly, and sterndrive components. Good continuity to a ground is essential for the anode and MerCathode system
to function effectively.
1. Inspect the steering lever ground wire for loose connections, broken connectors, or frayed wiring.
2. Inspect the inner transom plate ground wire for loose connections, broken connectors, or frayed wiring.
