Installation Notes
- Disconnect the boat's negative battery cable before starting work.
- Raise the sterndrive to the full "up" or "trailer" position to access all anode locations.
- Remove the bolts securing each old anode. You may need to use a wire brush to clean the bolt heads first.
- Thoroughly clean the mounting surface on the sterndrive where the new anode will sit. A good metal-to-metal connection is critical for proper function.
- Position the new anode and install it using the new hardware provided in the kit.
- Tighten the bolts securely, but do not overtighten. Ensure the anode is snug against the drive component.
- Once all anodes are replaced, you can lower the drive and reconnect the battery cable.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Will this kit fit an Alpha One Gen 1 drive?
No, this anode kit is specifically designed for Alpha One Generation 2 drives (1991–Present) and will not fit Gen 1 models.
Can I use this anode kit in fresh water?
No. This is an aluminum anode kit, which is not effective in fresh water. It is designed for salt and brackish water only. For fresh water, you must use a magnesium anode kit to ensure proper protection.
How often should I replace my sterndrive anodes?
Anodes should be inspected at least once a year and replaced when they are approximately 50-60% consumed. The replacement interval can vary greatly based on water salinity, temperature, and nearby electrical currents.
What are the signs that my anodes are failing or need replacement?
Visible signs include heavy pitting, crumbling, or the anode being mostly eaten away. If you see accelerated corrosion on the drive unit itself, it means the anodes are not working and should be replaced immediately after ensuring they have a clean mounting contact.
Does this kit include the mounting screws?
Yes, a complete hardware kit containing all necessary screws and bolts for mounting each anode is included.
Is this an OEM Mercruiser part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part, not an OEM component. It has been engineered to meet or exceed original equipment specifications for fit, material, and performance, providing a reliable and cost-effective alternative.
