{"product_id":"21868042-anode-kit-genuine-volvo-penta","title":"21868042 Anode Kit | Genuine Volvo Penta Part","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\n 🔧 Product Description\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n Genuine Volvo Penta anodes are made to sacrifice themselves in order to protect the drive and propeller from galvanic corrosion. Volvo Penta now recommends aluminium anodes in salt and brackish water instead of the zinc previously recommended for salt water, and is gradually phasing out and replacing most of its zinc anodes with aluminium ones. Aluminium anodes give 30% higher corrosion protection capacity, up to 20-40% longer life span in salt water compared with similarly sized zinc anodes, a lower environmental impact, and are the better choice for brackish water too. Magnesium is the material listed for fresh water. This is the aluminium anode listed for exhaust pipe, DPH, DPI, DPR drives, supplied for salt and brackish water.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n 🚤 Compatibility\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003e\n   Engine Family:\n  \u003c\/strong\u003e\n  DPH, D, TSK, DPI, DPR\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003e\n   HP Range:\n  \u003c\/strong\u003e\n  150-480 HP\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003e\n   Year Range:\n  \u003c\/strong\u003e\n  Approximately 2000s-2010s\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n Full model list at the end of this description.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n ⚙️ Key Features\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Exhaust pipe anode for DPH, DPI and DPR drives\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Aluminium, for salt and brackish water\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  0.186 kg\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Includes two sealing O-rings\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Fresh water equivalent is magnesium anode 21868041\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Aluminium anode for Exhaust pipe, DPH, DPI, DPR drives.\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Listed for salt and brackish water.\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Aluminium anodes give 30% higher corrosion protection capacity than a similarly sized zinc anode.\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Up to 20-40% longer life span in salt water than a similarly sized zinc anode.\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Lower environmental impact, and the better choice for brackish water as well as salt.\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Aluminium anodes can be used for all types of hull material.\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Volvo Penta anodes feature, where needed, an internal reinforcement made from an alloy that does not erode, which also ensures a reliable electrical connection between the anode and the drive.\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Material: aluminium\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Fits: Exhaust pipe, DPH, DPI, DPR drives\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Aluminium sacrificial anode for the exhaust pipe position\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Fits the Aquamatic duo prop DPH, DPI and DPR drives\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Position: exhaust pipe\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Water type: Salt and brackish water\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Fits: the Aquamatic duo prop DPH, DPI and DPR drives\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n Also supersedes Volvo part numbers 21511572, 21700154, 3587411, 3587413 and 40005584\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n 📋 Kit Contents\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Aluminium anode - Volvo Penta 21868042\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  O-ring - Volvo Penta 976042, quantity 2\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n 🔌 Function\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n Sacrifices itself to protect the exhaust downpipe and the connected submerged drive components from galvanic corrosion.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Anode more than half consumed\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Anode loose or electrically isolated\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Pitting appearing around the exhaust cover\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  O-rings no longer sealing\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Anode material wrong for the water the boat lies in\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n 🛠️ Service Notes\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Renew the two O-rings whenever the anode comes out, since they seal the cover against the cooling water\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Aluminium gives around 30% higher protection capacity and up to 20-40% longer salt water life than a similarly sized zinc anode\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  The spray plate and transom shield on these drives take separate anodes, so order by position rather than by drive\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Salt and brackish water: aluminium (or, on some older drives, cadmium-free zinc marked Zn).
