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 spray plate, SX drive; Spray plate, DP-S, DP-SM 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  TSK, DP, SX\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  Spray plate anode for SX single prop and DP-S and DP-SM duo prop drives\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Aluminium, for salt and brackish water\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  0.431 kg\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Supersedes 3855411, previously listed as a zinc anode\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Fresh water equivalent is magnesium anode 3855412\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Aluminium anode for Spray plate, SX drive; Spray plate, DP-S, DP-SM 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: Spray plate, SX drive; Spray plate, DP-S, DP-SM drives\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Aluminium sacrificial anode for the spray plate position\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Fits the Aquamatic single prop SX drives and the duo prop DP-S and DP-SM drives\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Position: spray plate\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 single prop SX drives and the duo prop DP-S and DP-SM 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, carrying away the galvanic attack that would otherwise eat into the castings.\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 away to well under half its original size\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  White or grey oxide crust over the whole surface\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Anode still looking new after a season, which means it is not connected to earth\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Fresh pitting or paint blistering on the drive castings nearby\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Anode loose or its fixing corroded\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  This is the aluminium version replacing an earlier zinc anode, so confirm the water the boat lies in before ordering\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Fit the anode directly against clean bare metal - paint, primer or sealant under the anode stops it working\n \u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n  Transom shield anode 3586461 covers the other position on the same drives, so order by position as well as 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).
