ADANGER Fire Hazard Explosion Hazard While the engine is running or the battery is charging, hydrogen gas is being produced and can be easily ignited. Keep the area around the battery well-ventilated and keep sparks, open flame and any other form of ignition out of the area. Undersized wiring systems can cause an electrical fire. Fire Hazard Ensure that appropriate fire detection and extinguishing equipment are installed and checked periodically for proper operation. Sever Hazard • Never service the Sail-Drive while under tow or if the engine is running at idle speed. The propeller may...

Always wear personal protective equipment including appropriate clothing, gloves, work shoes, eye and hearing protection as required by the task at hand. Entanglement Hazard • Never leave the key in the key switch when you are servicing the Sail-Drive. Someone may accidentally start the engine and not realize you are servicing it. • Never operate the engine while wearing a headset to listen to music or radio because it will be difficult to hear the warning signals. Some of the engine and Sail-Drive surfaces become very hot during operation and shortly after shut-down. Keep hands and other...

A CAUTION Poor Lighting Hazard Ensure that the work area is adequately illuminated. Always install wire cages on portable safety lamps. Tool Hazard Always use tools appropriate for the task at hand and use the correct size tool for loosening or tightening machine parts. Always wear eye protection when servicing the Sail-Drive or when using compressed air or high-pressure water. Dust, flying debris, compressed air, pressurized water or steam may injure your eyes. Slipping and TVipping Hazard Ensure that adequate floor space is set aside for servicing Sail-Drive. The floor space must be...

If the Sail-Drive oil temperature is too high, stop engine immediately and check the Sail-Drive oil level. The anode of the Sail-Drive is only calculated for the Sail-Drive. Using the different material propeller may require additional anodes to be installed on the propeller itself. Failure to use the correct anode material may result in inadequate protection and excessive corrosion of underwater drive system components. Use only aluminum anodes in brackish and saltwater applications. In freshwater applications, use aluminum or magnesium anodes for best results. Never use magnesium anodes...

PRODUCT OVERVIEW PRODUCT OVERVIEW GALVANIC CORROSION Galvanic corrosion results whenever two or more dissimilar metals (like those found on the sail-drive) are submerged in a conductive solution, such as saltwater, polluted water or water with a high mineral content because a chemical reaction takes place causing electrical current to flow between the metals. The electrical current flow causes the metal that is most chemically active, or anodic, to erode. If not controlled, galvanic corrosion may corrode Sail-Drive components. CORROSION CONTROL It is the boat designer’s...
