23986752 Anode Kit | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta Magnesium Hook-Up Fork Anode Kit - Part Number: 23986752

A genuine sacrificial anode for the triangular hook-up-fork position used on compatible Volvo Penta sterndrive steering and suspension assemblies. The magnesium alloy is selected specifically for fresh water; using the correct alloy is essential because an anode intended for a different water type can provide inadequate protection or be consumed at an unsuitable rate.

Kit Contents:

• 1 × magnesium triangular hook-up-fork sacrificial anode - Part Number: 23986752

Mounting screw 963683 is a related service item and is not included under this anode part number unless specifically supplied with the order.

⚙️ Key Features

• Genuine Volvo Penta sacrificial anode

• Magnesium alloy for fresh water

• Triangular profile for the hook-up-fork mounting position

• Protects connected drive components from galvanic corrosion

• Direct service replacement for the applicable Volvo Penta fork-anode geometry

• Serial Applicability: Confirm the anode position and drive serial number before installation because other anode locations use different shapes and part numbers

🔌 Function

The anode is electrically connected to the drive assembly and corrodes preferentially, reducing galvanic attack on the fork, steering components and connected underwater metalwork.

Common signs of failure:

• Anode has lost a substantial proportion of its original mass

• Deep pitting, cracking or uneven erosion

• Anode is loose, missing or has poor metal-to-metal contact

• White or crusted surface film prevents effective operation

• Corrosion begins appearing on the fork or nearby drive components

• Abnormally rapid anode consumption indicates stray current or incorrect alloy selection

📦 Condition
