Procedure

Powerhead Cleaning and Corrosion Protection (Saltwater Use)

1. Remove the top cowl and flywheel cover. 2. Inspect the powerhead and powerhead components for salt buildup. 3. Wash off any salt buildup from the powerhead and powerhead components with fresh water. WARNING: Keep water spray out of the air filter/intake and alternator. 4. After washing, allow the powerhead and components to dry completely. 5. Apply Quicksilver or Mercury Precision Lubricants Corrosion Guard spray on the external metal surfaces of the powerhead and powerhead components.
