tabs back down into the spline washer. Recheck the propeller at the beginning and end
of each season. Do not operate with a loose propeller.
Corrosion Protection
Whenever two or more dissimilar metals (like those found on the sterndrive) are submerged
in a conductive solution, such as saltwater, polluted water, or water with a high mineral
content, a chemical reaction takes place causing electrical current to flow between metals.
The electrical current flow causes the metal that is most chemically active, or anodic, to
erode. This is known as galvanic corrosion and, if not controlled, it will in time cause the
need for replacement of power package components exposed to water. Refer to the
Marine
Corrosion Protection Guide
.
Mercury MerCruiser power packages are equipped with anodes to help protect them from
galvanic corrosion under moderate conditions. However, for severe conditions (i.e. when
using a stainless steel propeller, docking/mooring in areas with rapid water flow, etc.),
install a Quicksilver Anti‑Corrosion Anode Kit, a MerCathode System, or both.
