Description

The 865182Q01 is a genuine Mercury MerCruiser Quicksilver aluminum prop nut anode kit for Bravo III sterndrives. Mercury identifies it as the prop nut anode kit for Bravo III drives, serial number 0M179452 and up, and states that it includes the cast aluminum anode plus the stainless steel hex bolt and washers needed to attach it to the prop shaft.

Parts Desk Insight
This part protects a very specific area of the drive: the Bravo III prop nut / prop shaft assembly. That matters because Bravo III prop nut anodes are split by serial range, so matching the serial number is just as important as matching the part shape.
