Yamaha OEM Zinc Gearcase Trim Tab Anode 6CE-45373-00-00

Product Description
The Yamaha 6CE-45373-00-00 is a genuine OEM gearcase trim tab anode for select Yamaha outboard applications. It serves two jobs at once: it acts as the trim tab for steering adjustment and as a sacrificial anode to help protect the lower unit and nearby underwater metal components from galvanic corrosion. Current OEM references also show this part supersedes 61A-45371-00-00.

Because this listing is for the zinc version, it is the correct material choice for saltwater use. Current references for this trim-tab pattern also show a common M10 x 1.25 mm threaded mounting spec and a 4 in. size reference.

Engine Compatibility
Current fitment references commonly associate 6CE-45373-00-00 with select Yamaha outboards including F200, F225, F250, F300, along with certain 225/250 2-stroke applications. Some current references also show overlap into additional Yamaha ranges, so fitment should always be confirmed by exact model and serial number before ordering.

Serial Number Fitment Notice
Please verify fitment using your Yamaha outboard serial number before ordering. This is the safest way to confirm the correct trim tab anode, especially where published fitment lists vary by horsepower group or model year. Matching by OEM part number 6CE-45373-00-00 and confirming the superseded number 61A-45371-00-00 is the best approach.

When This Part Needs Replacement
Replace this anode when it is heavily consumed, pitted, cracked, loose, or no longer able to provide proper sacrificial protection. Because this part also serves as the trim tab, it should be checked for both corrosion loss and secure installation during routine lower-unit service.

Installation Notes
Install on a clean mounting surface and do not paint the anode. Confirm the thread size and trim-tab pattern match your current setup before installation. Current references for this part pattern show an M10 x 1.25 mm threaded mount.

Parts Desk Insight
Trim tab anodes are easy to underestimate because they look like a simple steering-adjustment part, but they are also protecting the gearcase at the same time. That makes this one of those small maintenance items that can do a lot of work for the lower unit when it is replaced before it is badly consumed.
