Fuse Replacement
IMPORTANT: Always carry spare SFE 20 AMP fuses.
The electric starting circuit is protected from overload by an SFE 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
1. 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 anode installed on the bottom of the transom bracket assembly. An anode
helps protect the outboard against galvanic corrosion by sacrificing its metal to be slowly corroded instead of the
outboard metals.
The anode requires periodic inspection, especially in salt water 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.
