Yamaha Transom Bracket Anode | 6H1-45251-03-00-60

Overview

The Yamaha Transom Bracket Anode 6H1-45251-03-00-60 is a genuine original equipment manufacturer component designed to protect your outboard motor’s mounting bracket and steering components from corrosion. Installed on the transom bracket, this sacrificial anode helps shield critical metal parts such as the pivot tube, steering arm, and bracket hardware from the damaging effects of galvanic corrosion.

Marine environments expose outboard engines to salt, minerals, and stray electrical currents that can gradually corrode exposed metal surfaces. This aluminum alloy anode attracts corrosive elements and slowly sacrifices itself to protect surrounding engine components. Regular inspection and replacement of anodes help maintain long-term protection and preserve the structural integrity of your outboard motor.
