Abstract
In an outboard motor, an exhaust passage is formed to a member constituting an engine such as cylinder block and a water jacket for cooling the exhaust passage is formed adjacent to the exhaust passage between the exhaust passage and an outer wall of the engine constituting member. The outboard motor is further provided with an anode device which comprises an anode mounting port formed to the cylinder block as the engine constituting member so as to penetrate the outer wall thereof and opened to the water jacket, an anode holder detachably mounted to the anode mounting port so as to close the anode mounting port, and an anode mounted to a portion of the anode holder on the side of the anode mounting port.
Claims7
An anode device of an outboard motor in which an exhaust passage is formed to a member constituting an engine of the outboard motor and a water jacket for cooling the exhaust passage is formed adjacent to the exhaust passage between the exhaust passage and an outer wall of the engine constituting member, said anode device comprising:
- an anode mounting port formed to the engine constituting member so as to penetrate the outer wall thereof and opened to the water jacket;
- an anode holder detachably mounted to the anode mounting port so as to close the anode mounting port;
- and
- an anode mounted to a portion of the anode holder on the side of the anode mounting port, said anode having an inside end face positioned inside a surface of an inner wall defining the water jacket.
An anode device of an outboard motor, comprising:
- an anode mounting port formed in an engine constituting member constituting an engine of the outboard motor, said anode mounting port penetrating an outer wall of the engine constituting member and opened to a water jacket which is formed adjacent to an exhaust passage of the engine and which is positioned between the exhaust passage and the outer wall of the engine constituting member to cool the exhaust passage;
- an anode holder detachably mounted to said anode mounting port to close said anode mounting port;
- and
- an anode detachably mounted to said anode holder to be positioned inside said anode mounting port such that said anode does not project beyond a surface of an inner wall defining the water jacket.
