Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this anode kit fits my drive?
This kit is a direct replacement for Volvo Penta part 872793 and is confirmed to fit XDP-B, SX, and DPX drives that use a triangle-shaped anode plate. Always verify fitment by visually comparing your old part to the images and specifications provided.
How often should I replace my sterndrive anode?
Anodes should be inspected at least annually, or more frequently in aggressive waters. A common rule is to replace an anode once it is 50-60% consumed to ensure the drive remains protected.
What are the signs of a failing or depleted anode?
A visibly shrunken, pitted, or missing anode is a clear sign it needs replacement. Other indicators include new signs of corrosion, bubbling paint, or metal discoloration on the sterndrive unit or propeller, which suggest the anode is no longer providing protection.
Can this be used in freshwater?
This is a zinc anode, which is formulated specifically for saltwater or brackish water. For freshwater applications, magnesium or aluminum anodes are typically recommended for effective protection.
OEM vs. Aftermarket?
This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). Built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials. Manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility, batch-inspected for consistency.
