Critical Procedures
Continuity Circuit Wire Positioning
Good continuity must be maintained between the engine, transom assembly, and sterndrive unit for the galvanic corrosion
protection systems to function effectively. MerCruiser sterndrives are equipped with a continuity circuit to ensure that this
occurs. Be sure that continuity wires are installed as shown.
