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.
Clean the filter in nonflammable
solvent. Inspect the fuel tank filter
and the connector O-ring. Replace
them if damaged.
Reinstall the filter and hose
connector in the fuel tank. Tighten
the hose connector securely.
Unscrew the fuel hose connector
by turning it counterclockwise,
then remove the fuel hose
connector and fuel tank filter from
the tank.
One anode is located on the stern
bracket and the other anode is the
trim tab. 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 half their
original size, or if they are crumbling.
