Mercury Outboard Anodes
Galvanized corrosion is a concern for many boating enthusiasts. Without taking the proper steps to ensure your Mercury outboard parts are protected, you could end up paying for costly repairs in the future. Mercury outboard anodes, like the ones we carry here at Wholesale Marine, are ready to rescue your outboard engine parts from corrosion, and here’s how they work.
Mercury Outboard Anodes Are Small Yet Mighty
These small parts life-savers are placed in key positions throughout your outboard motor assembly. When joined by either direct contact or by another metal connecting the two, sacrificial anodes are quicker to give up their electrons than the metals of your motor, thus protecting it from corrosion. In short, Mercury Outboard Anodes ‘take one for the team’. At one time, zinc was the most popular choice for anodes, such as the Technoseal Anode Kit. This kit is complete with six anode pieces for your Mercury outboard parts. Zinc was once so popular as sacrificial anode material that it earned its nickname “zincs”. Today, however, aluminum is another choice. Wholesale Marine carries various aluminum anode kits with included hardware, such as the Sierra 18-6156A Kit. In freshwater environments, magnesium will well-protect the aluminum metals of your vessel but aren’t the best choice for brackish or salt waters.
