Description

The 818298T1 is a genuine Mercury MerCruiser Quicksilver aluminum anode kit designed to protect the bottom of the power trim pump assembly from galvanic corrosion. Mercury’s official listing identifies it for select Mercury and Mariner outboards, including all V6 and OptiMax outboards, plus selected 3-cylinder, 4-cylinder, 4-stroke, 3.4L V6, and 4.6L V8 applications.

Because this is an aluminum anode, it is suitable for saltwater, brackish water, and mixed-water use. Mercury’s current product information describes it as a pre-drilled aluminum anode with attaching hardware for fast replacement.

Parts Desk Insight
This is a small corrosion part, but it protects the power trim pump assembly, which is a much more expensive component to repair or replace. The key detail on 818298T1 is application: it is a power trim anode kit, not a sterndrive trim-tab anode.
