IMPORTANT: Mercury Marine recommends installing an
Anti‑Corrosion Kit. If the boat is equipped with stainless steel after
planes, a large anode should be installed on each to handle the
increased galvanic corrosion potential.
Replace passive anodes if eroded 50% or more, or if the anode is
loose.
Mercury Marine recommends using anodes sold through Mercury
Precision Parts only. Some other manufacturers of aluminum
anodes use alloys that are insufficiently pure to adequately protect
critical drive components for the duration of the anodes' expected
life.

a. If anti‑fouling protection is required for boat hull or boat
transom, copper or tin base paints can be used unless
otherwise prohibited by law.
b. If using copper or tin based anti‑fouling paints, avoid any
electrical interconnection between the Mercury Marine
Product, anodic blocks, and the paint by allowing a
minimum of 40 mm (1.5 in.) unpainted area on the
transom of the boat around these items.

Anti‑fouling paint
b -
Unpainted area
IMPORTANT: Corrosion damage that results from the improper
application of anti‑fouling paint will not be covered by the limited
warranty.
