Corrosion Prevention; Engine Oil Filter; Fuel Filter - Suzuki DF4 Manuel Du Propriétaire

Your authorized Suzuki Marine Dealer may also
have additional recommendations due to
regional climate or operating conditions.
Please consult him for advice.

CORROSION PREVENTION

ANODES
The motor is protected from exterior corrosion
by anodes. These anodes control electrolysis
and help prevent corrosion. The anodes will
corrode in place of the parts they are protect-
ing. You should periodically inspect each of the
anodes and replace them when 2/3 of the metal
has corroded away.
In certain areas of the country, the water is
unusually harsh on metal. Additional anti-corro-
sion measures may be helpful under those con-
ditions. Consult your authorized Suzuki Marine
Dealer for details.
NOTICE
If anodes are not properly maintained,
underwater aluminum surfaces (such as
the lower unit) will suffer galvanic corro-
sion damage.
• Periodically inspect anodes to make
sure they have not become detached.
• Do not paint anodes, as this will render
them ineffective.
• Periodically clean anodes with a wire
brush to remove any coating which
might decrease their protective ability.
