🔌 Function

The anode kit protects the outboard transom bracket, clamp bracket, power trim area and surrounding aluminium hardware by corroding before the engine bracket components.

Common signs of failure:

• Existing anodes more than half consumed

• White corrosion powdering on bracket or clamp area

• Anodes missing, loose or painted over

• Corrosion around trim bracket or swivel bracket

• Annual corrosion protection service due

• Incorrect anode material fitted for the operating water conditions

📦 Condition

• Genuine Quicksilver part

• Brand new

• Supplied in original or equivalent packaging
