PRE-OPERATION CHECKS

Other Checks

Check the following items:
(1) The fuel hose for kinking,
collapsing or a loose connection.
(2) The tiller handle for loose
installation, wobble or smooth
operation (H type).
The remote control lever for
smooth operation (R type).
(3) The switches for correct operation.
(4) The stern bracket for damage or
loose installation.
(5) The tool kit for missing spare
parts and tools.
(6) The anode metal for damage,
looseness or excessive corrosion.
The anode (sacrificed metal) helps to
protect the outboard motor from
corrosion damage; it must be exposed
directly to the water whenever the
outboard motor is in use. Replace the
anodes when they have been reduced
to about two-thirds of their original
size, or if they are crumbling.
62
The possibility of corrosion damage
is increased if the anode is painted
over or allowed to deteriorate.
