What's in the Box

• 1 × Aluminum anode plate

Bolts, screws, washers, and other mounting hardware are not specified as included. Reuse hardware only if it is serviceable and meets the applicable manufacturer requirements.

Installation Notes

1. Secure the boat and engine or drive according to the manufacturer's safety instructions. Disconnect the battery when appropriate for the service procedure.
2. Remove the existing anode and note its orientation, contact surface, and mounting hardware.
3. Compare the replacement plate with the original part, including its shape, mounting holes, and contact area.
4. Clean corrosion, paint, sealant, and debris from the mating surfaces so the anode has clean metal-to-metal electrical contact with the drive.
5. Install the anode in the same position and orientation as the original, using suitable serviceable fasteners.
6. Tighten fasteners to the applicable manufacturer's specifications. Do not coat the contact surfaces with paint or insulating material.
7. Inspect the installation after launching and periodically during use for secure attachment, electrical contact, and erosion.

Maintenance & FAQ

How do I know when to replace the anode?

Inspect the anode regularly for erosion, cracking, looseness, and loss of contact with the drive. Replace it when it is substantially consumed or damaged, following the engine or drive manufacturer's service guidance.

Will this fit my specific engine or drive?

The cataloged application is Mercury Mariner and MerCruiser stern/outdrive equipment, but the company record does not specify exact models, years, horsepower, stroke, or serial-number ranges. Confirm that your original part reference and mounting configuration match before ordering.

Is this an OEM part?

No. This is an aftermarket replacement anode plate. The listed manufacturer part numbers are reference numbers used for comparison.

Does the package include mounting hardware?

Hardware is not specified as included. Check the existing fasteners and obtain suitable replacements if necessary.

What can cause rapid anode wear?

Rapid or uneven wear may be associated with water conditions, stray electrical current, poor bonding, incorrect anode material, damaged wiring, or nearby dissimilar metals. If wear is unusually fast, have the drive and boat electrical system inspected by a qualified marine technician.

Safety & Important Info

• Verify the original part number, anode material, dimensions, mounting holes, and installation position before purchase.
• Exact model, year, horsepower, stroke, shaft, and serial-number fitment is not specified in the company catalog record.
• Do not paint, grease, or electrically isolate the anode-to-drive contact surface.
• This is an aftermarket replacement, not an OEM component.
• Professional installation is recommended when the correct anode position, material, or bonding condition is uncertain.
