Description

The Yamaha 6G5-45251-02-00 is a genuine OEM transom bracket anode for select Yamaha outboard applications. It is designed to help protect the outboard bracket and nearby underwater metal components from galvanic corrosion. Current Yamaha parts references identify this part specifically as an Outboard Bracket Transom Anode.

Because this is the zinc version, it is intended for saltwater use. Transom bracket anodes are sacrificial corrosion-protection parts and should be replaced as they wear so the bracket and surrounding metal components stay protected.

Key Features

• Genuine Yamaha OEM transom bracket anode
• OEM part number: 6G5-45251-02-00
• Zinc sacrificial anode for saltwater use
• Designed for the transom bracket location
• Helps protect exposed bracket and engine metal from galvanic corrosion

Engine Compatibility
Current fitment references associate 6G5-45251-02-00 with select Yamaha outboards, including V4 and V6 2-stroke applications, and broader later-model outboard fitment references also list it across certain 115–300 HP Yamaha outboards. 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 location. Matching by OEM part number 6G5-45251-02-00 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. A worn transom bracket anode provides less corrosion protection and should be replaced before the bracket begins sacrificing itself.

Installation Notes
Install on a clean bare-metal mounting surface and do not paint the anode. Confirm the installed bracket-anode shape and mounting pattern before installation so the replacement matches the original Yamaha application correctly.

Parts Desk Insight
Bracket anodes are easy to overlook because they are small compared with the rest of the outboard, but they protect a much more expensive bracket assembly. Replacing a worn transom bracket anode on time is a simple, low-cost way to stay ahead of corrosion damage.
