Why Aluminum Anodes

Aluminum anodes provide strong corrosion protection in:

• Saltwater

• Brackish water

• Freshwater

They often last longer than traditional zinc anodes and perform better in mixed-water environments.

---

Function

Anodes are sacrificial metals that corrode instead of the engine’s aluminum components. By absorbing galvanic corrosion, they protect:

• Lower unit / gearcase

• Trim system components

• Mounting brackets and hardware

---

Service Tip:
Anodes should be inspected at least annually and replaced when roughly 50% consumed to maintain proper corrosion protection.
