Yamaha Trim Tab Skeg Anode | 61A-45371-00-00

Overview

The Yamaha Trim Tab Skeg Anode 61A-45371-00-00 is a genuine original equipment manufacturer component designed to protect your outboard engine from corrosion in harsh marine environments. This sacrificial anode helps shield critical metal components of the lower unit by attracting corrosive elements before they can damage the engine or skeg.

Installed as part of the trim tab assembly, this anode plays an important role in preventing galvanic corrosion caused by saltwater, minerals, and electrical activity in the water. Over time, the anode gradually corrodes in place of the engine components it protects. Replacing worn anodes regularly helps maintain proper corrosion protection and supports the long-term durability of your outboard engine.

Note: This part has been superseded by Yamaha part 6CE-45373-00-00.
