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 magnesium anode listed for transom shield, 290, SP drives; Transom shield, 290, DP drives; Transom shield, DPH, DPR, DPI drives, supplied for fresh 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\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003e\n   HP Range:\n  \u003c\/strong\u003e\n  150-440 HP\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  Transom shield anode for 290 and SP single prop, 290 and DP duo prop, and DPH, DPR and DPI drives\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Magnesium, for fresh water\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  0.154 kg\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Supersedes 873178\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Salt and brackish water equivalent is aluminium anode 3588770\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Quantity varies by assembly, most commonly one\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Magnesium anode for Transom shield, 290, SP drives; Transom shield, 290, DP drives; Transom shield, DPH, DPR, DPI drives.\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Listed for fresh 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: magnesium\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Fits: Transom shield, 290, SP drives; Transom shield, 290, DP drives; Transom shield, DPH, DPR, DPI drives\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Magnesium sacrificial anode for the transom shield position\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Fits the Aquamatic single prop 290 and SP drives, the duo prop 290 and DP drives, and the DPH, DPR and DPI drives\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Position: transom shield\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Water type: Fresh water\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Fits: the Aquamatic single prop 290 and SP drives, the duo prop 290 and DP drives, and the DPH, DPR and DPI drives\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n 🔌 Function\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n Corrodes in place of the drive's own metal, giving up material to protect the transom shield and drive from galvanic attack.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Anode wasted to well under half its original size\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Anode barely touched, which means it is not making electrical contact\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  White or grey crust over the anode face\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Paint blistering and pitting appearing on the drive itself\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Anode fixing loose or corroded away\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  Anode material must match the water you keep the boat in - this is magnesium for fresh water, and 3588770 is the aluminium anode for salt and brackish water\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  The two are not interchangeable, and their weights differ, so order on water type rather than on fit\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Fit onto clean bare metal with no paint or sealant under the anode, or it will not protect anything\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Salt and brackish water: aluminium (or, on some older drives, cadmium-free zinc marked Zn).
