Yamaha - Internal Crankcase Anode Kit - VF150, VF175 Corrosion Protection - All Models

Overview

On the VF150 and VF175, these internal anodes are doing the kind of work you don’t see but definitely rely on—especially if you’re running in saltwater. They’re designed to take the corrosion hit before it reaches critical internal engine components. Over time, they wear down doing their job, and once they’re gone, that protection disappears. Replacing them along with the grommets is simple maintenance that helps keep your motor protected and running the way it should.
