Yamaha - External Anode Maintenance Kit - F225, F250, F300 4.2L Corrosion Protection - All Models

Overview

On the 4.2L V6 F225, F250, and F300 models, external anodes are your first line of defense against corrosion—especially if the boat spends time in saltwater. These anodes are designed to take the electrolysis hit before it reaches your lower unit and bracket. Over time, they wear down doing their job, and once they’re gone, corrosion starts working on your engine components. This kit makes it easy to replace everything in one shot and keep your setup protected.
