Description

The Yamaha 65W-45251-00-00 is a genuine OEM bracket anode for select Yamaha outboard applications. It is designed to help protect the outboard bracket and nearby underwater metal components from galvanic corrosion. Yamaha’s current OEM parts references identify 65W-45251-00-00 specifically as a Bracket Anode.

Because this listing is for the zinc version, it is the correct material choice for saltwater use. Current Yamaha bracket-anode references also note that bracket anodes should be replaced once they are worn to about half of their original size.

Key Features

• Genuine Yamaha OEM bracket anode
• OEM part number: 65W-45251-00-00
• Zinc sacrificial anode for saltwater use
• Helps protect the outboard bracket from galvanic corrosion
• Common mounting style uses unthreaded holes for M6 screws
• Mounting hardware is commonly listed not included on this part pattern

Engine Compatibility
Current fitment references commonly associate 65W-45251-00-00 with select Yamaha outboards including T8, T9.9, F15, F20, F25, F30, F40, F50, F60, F70, T25, T50, T60, VF150, and VF175 applications. Fitment should still be confirmed by exact engine model and serial number before ordering.

Serial Number Fitment Notice
Fitment should be verified using the Yamaha outboard model and serial number, along with the installed anode shape and mounting pattern. Matching by OEM part number 65W-45251-00-00 remains the safest method.

When This Part Needs Replacement
Replace this anode when it is heavily consumed, pitted, cracked, loose, or significantly reduced in size. Yamaha bracket-anode guidance indicates replacement is appropriate once the anode has worn to about half of its original size.

Installation Notes
Install on a clean bare-metal mounting surface and do not paint the anode. Confirm the mounting pattern before installation. Current part-pattern references indicate M6 fasteners and that mounting hardware may not be included.

Parts Desk Insight
Bracket anodes are easy to miss during routine service because they are small and tucked away, but they protect a much more expensive outboard bracket assembly. Replacing a worn bracket anode on time is a simple, low-cost way to stay ahead of corrosion.
