# 23254031 Anode | Genuine Volvo Penta Part ## 🔧 Product Description Genuine Volvo Penta Active Corrosion Protection kit for a twin sterndrive installation. By monitoring and controlling the electrical potential in the water surrounding the drive, the ACP system ensures optimal protection in any type of brackish or salt water, and the status of the corrosion protection can always be read on the EVC display, 2.5", 4", 7" or Glass Cockpit. All parts needed for the installation are included in the kit. ## 🚤 Compatibility Typically suits: - Volvo Penta DPH-D1 - Volvo Penta D6-330A-F - Volvo Penta D6-370A-F - Volvo Penta D4-260A-F - Volvo Penta D4-300A-F - Volvo Penta D6-300A-F - Volvo Penta D4-225A-F - Volvo Penta D6-300A-G - Volvo Penta D6-340A-G - Volvo Penta D6-380A-G - Volvo Penta DPH-E - Volvo Penta D6-400A-G - Volvo Penta D6-400A-F - Volvo Penta DPR-D - Volvo Penta D4-150A-G - Volvo Penta D4-230A-G - Volvo Penta D4-270A-G - Volvo Penta D4-300A-G - **Engine Family:** DPH, D, DPR - **HP Range:** 150-400 HP ## ⚙️ Key Features - Active Corrosion Protection kit for a twin Aquamatic sterndrive installation - For EVC generation C2 to EVC E - Control unit, transom unit and two back-up zinc anodes - Protection status shown on the EVC displays at the helm - 13.113 kg - ACP kit for a twin installation - Monitors and controls the electrical potential in the water surrounding the drive - Suits any type of brackish or salt water - Protection status readable on the EVC display, 2.5", 4", 7" or Glass Cockpit - Three components: control unit, transom unit with active anode, and back-up sacrificial zinc anode - For fibreglass hulls with EVC-C2 or later, on DPH, DPS, SX, OX, FWD or DPR - Available for sterndrive on D3, D4/D6 and V6/V8 gasoline engines - For gasoline installations, ignition proof certified according to ISO 8846 and SAE J1171 - All parts needed for the installation are included in the kit - Hull: Fibreglass - Evc generation: EVC-C2 or later - Drives: DPH, DPS, SX, OX, FWD, DPR - Engines: Sterndrive on D3, D4/D6 and V6/V8 gasoline - Certification: Ignition proof according to ISO 8846 and SAE J1171 for gasoline installations - Components: Control unit; transom unit, active anode; back-up sacrificial zinc anode - Installation: Twin - Impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) with a much higher protection capacity than conventional zinc or aluminium sacrificial anodes - Fully automated and integrated with the Electronic Vessel Control (EVC) system, with protection status shown on the existing engine displays - no extra display needed - Replaces the sacrificial anodes on the drive for Aquamatic sterndrives, and the standard transom mounted sacrificial anodes on Volvo Penta IPS installations - Supplied complete with control unit, transom unit and back-up zinc anode, and with installation instructions - Current capacity of 3 A, with typical consumption under most conditions below 50 mA for a single Aquamatic sterndrive - Listed for Aquamatic sterndrives DPI, DPH, DPS, SX, OX, FWD and DPR, twin installation, on EVC C2 to EVC E - Evc generation: EVC C2 to EVC E - Current capacity: 3 A - Fits: Aquamatic sterndrives DPI, DPH, DPS, SX, OX, FWD and DPR ## 📋 Kit Contents - Control unit - Transom unit - Back-up zinc anode - two anodes for twin Aquamatic sterndrives - Wiring and installation instructions ## 🔌 Function Protects the sterndrives electrically by impressed current, continuously measuring the drives' potential and adjusting the output so the castings are held out of the corrosion range while the boat sits in the water. ## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure - Corrosion or protection warning shown at the EVC display - Sacrificial back-up anodes wasting far faster than they used to - Pitting, blistering or white staining on the drive castings - Reference electrode or anode lead found chafed, corroded or open circuit - Control unit case water-stained and connector pins green on removal ## 🛠️ Service Notes - Confirm the boat is a twin installation and the system is EVC C2 to EVC E before ordering, as the single-installation kit 23025862 is a separate part - Check the bonding connections and reference electrode first, since a poor earth path makes a healthy unit read as faulty - No anodes are consumed while the system is active, so heavy back-up anode wastage usually means the system has been off or in monitoring-only mode - Requirements: a Volvo Penta IPS or an Aquamatic DPI, DPH, DPS, SX, OX, FWD or DPR sterndrive; Electronic Vessel Control generation C2 or later; a 2.5in, 4in or 7in EVC display or Glass Cockpit; and a fibreglass hull - Twin Aquamatic sterndrive installations are supplied with two back-up anodes - Extra bonding cable is needed between IPS units on triple and quad installations - one for a triple, two for a quad - Volvo Penta recommends keeping shore power connected while berthed - Below 75% battery state of charge with no shore power the system enters a monitor-only mode: status is still visible at the helm but protection comes from the back-up sacrificial anodes - Below 50% battery state of charge the system is inactive and protection comes entirely from the back-up anodes - Typical consumption is under 350 mA for a triple IPS1/10 installation with unpainted drives; with painted drives that can fall below 50 mA - Always follow Volvo Penta's instructions for painting IPS drives, and the legislation governing antifouling paints where the boat is used ## 📦 Condition - Genuine Volvo Penta part - Brand new - Supplied in original or equivalent packaging ## Details - **Price:** 4388.63 AUD - **Vendor:** Volvo Penta - **Type:** Drives & Propulsion - **Tags:** Volvo Penta ## Variants | Variant | Price | Available | |---------|-------|-----------| | Default Title | 4388.63 AUD | In stock | ## Images - 23254031 Anode | Genuine Volvo Penta Part --- > Source: [Sawley's Auto and Marine](https://www.sawleysautoandmarine.com.au/products/23254031-anode-genuine-volvo-penta) > Updated: 2026-09-22
