EMU41350

Anti-fouling paint

A clean hull is required to maintain your boat’s performance. Boats moored in the water should be protected from marine growth (bar- nacles, mussels, and marine plants). If approved by regulations for your area, the bottom of the hull can be coated with an anti- fouling paint to inhibit marine growth.

Anti-fouling paints specifically formulated for use on aluminum may be applied to the outboard motor. The original Yamaha paint surface may be scuffed lightly before applying anti-fouling paint, but do not remove the original paint. Removal of the original paint will increase the rate of corrosion.

NOTICE

Anti-fouling paint for fiberglass and wood may contain materials, such as copper, graphite, and tin, that can cause corrosion if applied to aluminum boats and outboard motor components. Never apply these types of paint to your outboard motor because rapid corrosion damage could oc- cur.

Sacrificial anodes are attached to the outboard motor to provide corrosion protection and must never be painted.
