Replacing the Anodes
There are anodes in the seawater cooling system
and they should be inspected and replaced
periodically.
Anodes are located in the heat exchanger
(Figure 4-8, (1)) and the charge air cooler
(Figure 4-8, (2)). An additional anode may also be
located in the exhaust / water mixing elbow.

1. Disconnect battery negative (-) cable.
2. Remove each anode and inspect for corrosion.
Any anode having less than half its original size
remaining should be replaced. NOTICE:
NEVER use thread sealer or thread sealing
tape when installing anodes. Anodes must
make good metal-to-metal contact to perform
properly.
3. Install each anode using a new copper gasket
and tighten to 25 N·m (18 ft-lb).
4. Start engine and check for water leaks.
