Installation Notes

  1. Ensure the engine is off and the battery is disconnected for safety.
  2. Locate and unbolt the old trim tab anode from the underside of the anti-ventilation plate.
  3. Thoroughly clean the mounting surface on the gearcase, ensuring a clean, bare metal contact point for electrical continuity.
  4. Position the new anode and fasten it securely with the provided mounting bolt. Do not over-tighten.
  5. Ensure the new anode does not interfere with the propeller's movement. Adjust if necessary.
  6. Once installation is confirmed correct, reconnect the battery.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Is this aluminum anode better than a zinc one?

Aluminum anodes provide superior protection in fresh and brackish water environments compared to traditional zinc anodes. They are also effective in salt water, making them an excellent all-around choice.

How do I know when to replace my trim tab anode?

Inspect your anodes at least every six months. You should replace them when they are approximately 50% consumed or show signs of severe pitting, crumbling, or have fallen off. Regular replacement is critical for engine protection.

Can I install this part myself?

Yes, this is a straightforward DIY task for most boat owners. It only requires basic hand tools to unbolt the old anode and install the new one. However, always follow safety precautions, such as disconnecting the battery.

Why is a clean mounting surface so important?

The anode must make direct metal-to-metal contact with the gearcase to work correctly. Paint, corrosion, or marine growth on the mounting surface can insulate the anode, rendering it ineffective and putting your engine at risk.
