Troubleshooting & FAQ
What is the difference between aluminum and zinc anodes?
Aluminum anodes have a higher negative voltage than zinc, providing better protection in brackish and saltwater. They are the preferred choice for modern outboard engines operating in these environments.
How do I know when to replace my anodes?
Anodes should be replaced when they are 50% corroded. Regular inspection (at least twice a year) is recommended. Visible pitting, crumbling, or significant size reduction are clear signs that a replacement is needed.
Will this kit fit my specific engine year?
This kit is designed for Yamaha 300-350 HP 4-stroke XP outboards. Since specific year ranges are not provided, the most reliable way to confirm fitment is to match the OEM part numbers (e.g., 6AW-45251-00) to your engine's requirements, found in your service manual.
Does this kit include installation hardware (bolts/screws)?
This kit contains only the anodes. Original hardware can often be reused if it's in good condition. However, some sources indicate hardware may not be included, so it is best to be prepared to source it separately if needed.
Is this an OEM part or an aftermarket replacement?
This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). It has been built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials, and manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility and batch-inspected for consistency.
