Installation Notes

  1. Tilt the outboard to its highest position and engage the tilt lock for safety. Disconnect the engine's battery.
  2. Locate the existing trim tab anode on the underside of the anti-cavitation plate.
  3. Use a wrench to loosen and remove the central mounting bolt, then remove the old, corroded anode.
  4. Thoroughly clean the mounting surface on the gearcase, removing any residue, corrosion, or old paint to ensure good electrical contact.
  5. Position the new anode and insert the mounting bolt. Hand-tighten to ensure it is seated correctly.
  6. Torque the bolt to the manufacturer's specification. Do not overtighten.
  7. Lower the outboard and restore power by reconnecting the battery.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if this anode fits my specific engine?

This anode fits a wide range of Yamaha models from 50HP to 200HP. The most reliable method is to check the "Engine & Model Compatibility" table and confirm that your OEM part number (from your engine's parts manual) is listed in our "Part Number Matrix." When in doubt, visually compare the photos and dimensions with your current part.

What are the signs that my old anode needs to be replaced?

You should replace your anode when it is about 50% eroded. Obvious signs include heavy pitting, crumbling, or significant material loss. A white, chalky appearance is normal, but a severely depleted anode can no longer protect your engine effectively.

How often should I change my trim tab anode?

For boats used in saltwater, we recommend inspecting anodes every 50-100 service hours or at least once a year. Boats kept in the water will experience faster anode erosion than those stored on a trailer. Frequent inspection is key.

Does this anode include the mounting bolt?

No, mounting hardware is not included. In most cases, you can reuse your existing M10 x 1.25mm bolt, provided it is in good condition.

Will this fit my 115HP Yamaha engine?

It is designed to fit specific Yamaha 115HP models, both 2-stroke and 4-stroke, that require OEM part numbers 688-45371-02 or 6E5-45371-01. As Yamaha uses different parts on different model years, always verify the part number for your specific engine serial number before ordering.

Why is the trim tab adjustable?

The trim tab anode counteracts propeller-induced torque steer. If your boat pulls to one side, you can adjust the angle of this tab to help it track straight. It serves both as a corrosion protector and a steering aid.

OEM vs. Aftermarket?

This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). Built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials. Manufactured in an ISO 9001 facility, batch-inspected for consistency.
