Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
7-25
The vessel should be tested every couple of weeks to determine the
integrity of the anode protection system. Another way to test the sys-
tem is to measure the hull potential. This is accomplished by immers-
ing a reference electrode, usually a silver/silver chloride into the water
about six inches behind the outboard drive. With leads attached to a
digital multi-meter the hull potential is read on the DC scale and com-
pared to recommended speci
fi
cations for the water body type. See the
owner’s information vendor packet for more information or contact
your nearest authorized Regal dealer.
Tips To Aid In Maintaining Galvanic Integrity
1.
Test the galvanic integrity of your vessel every 2 weeks
. Raise the outdrive
and inspect anodes/parts for signs of galvanic corrosion, stray cur-
rent corrosion or loose fasteners.
Contact your closest Regal dealer/marine
professional where signs of galvanic corrosion exist.
2. Never paint over anodes as they will become inoperative. Always
leave at least one inch between bottom paint and any underwater
fi
t-
ting such as seacocks, swim platform stanchions and all drive and
propulsion related underwater parts.
3. Periodically remove vessel from water and clean/pressure wash all
outboard, anode and hull bottom areas to remove growth.
4. Ensure vessel is using the correct anode metal for the body of wa-
ter that it is moored. See the engine/drive manufacturer information
packets for more information or contact an authorized dealer.
5. Ensure that the drive is completely “in” down to provide more
complete anode protection when vessel is moored.
6. Do not attempt to use magnesium anodes in saltwater. They will
provide over protection.
