AnodesTesting and Replacement Erosion or disintegration in salt or brackish water indicates the anodes are performing their functionThe anodes should be inspected at intervals and replaced when necessary, or corrosion of the engine will increase
INotellf any anode has been reduced to its original size13 eroded), it must be replaced! To increase the duration of the anodic protection, the sta rboard stern bracket (on some models) is drilled to accept an additional anode
Test for proper installation of the anodeCalibrate an ohmmeter on high ohms scaleConnect one meter lead to powerhead ground and the other lead to the anodeBe sure the surface of the anode is clean to make good contactThe ohm meter should show low readingIf not, remove the anode and clean the area where the anode is installed The mounting screws and the anode itself should also be cleanedInstall and retestnot paint or coat the anodes or their mounting surfaces
