Fuse Replacement
IMPORTANT: An ATC fuse has the fuse element enclosed or sealed inside the
plastic housing. This type of fuse must be used for marine applications. Marine
applications are exposed to environments that may have the potential to
accumulate explosive vapors. ATO fuses have exposed elements and should
never be used in marine applications.
IMPORTANT: Always carry spare ATC 20‑amp fuses.
The electric starting circuit is protected from overload by an ATC 20‑amp fuse.
If the fuse is blown, the electric starter motor will not operate. Try to locate and
correct the cause of the overload. If the cause is not found, the fuse may blow
again. Replace fuse with a fuse of the same rating.
Open the fuse holder and look at the silver colored band inside the fuse. If band
is broken, replace the fuse with a new fuse with the same rating.
a - Good fuse
b - Broken band
Corrosion Control Anode
The outboard has corrosion control anodes at different locations. An anode
helps protect the outboard against galvanic corrosion by sacrificing its metal to
be slowly eroded instead of the outboard metals.
Each anode requires periodic inspection, especially in saltwater which will
accelerate the erosion. To maintain this corrosion protection, always replace
the anode before it is completely eroded. Never paint or apply a protective
coating on the anode as this will reduce effectiveness of the anode.
