## ⚙️ Key Features

-   Marked DP
-   Supplied as a kit
-   0.011 kg
-   49 applications across the AD, AQAD, D, AQ, TMD and BB families

## 🔌 Function

Provides the sacrificial metal that corrodes in place of the DP drive's castings, gears and fasteners.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Anodes eaten away, pitted or gone
-   Anodes untouched after a season, which points to a broken bonding path rather than clean water
-   Chalky white bloom appearing on nearby alloy
-   Corrosion pitting starting around the anode seats
-   Anode fasteners seized or lost so the anode no longer earths

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Confirm the drive is a DP before ordering - the marking is the whole distinction
-   Clean the seats back to bright metal and leave the anodes unpainted so they can do their job
-   Anode kit 853430 is the fresh-water kit in this range if the boat does not lie in salt
