Yamaha - Anode - Corrosion Protection Component - 6BL-11325-00-00

Overview

If you run in saltwater or even brackish conditions, this is one of those parts you don’t want to ignore. The anode is designed to take the hit from corrosion so the rest of your engine doesn’t. I’ve seen motors where the anode was gone and the damage started showing up elsewhere. Keeping a fresh one in place is cheap insurance for the long haul.

Key Features

• Corrosion Protection – Sacrifices itself to protect critical engine components from electrolysis.

• Extended Engine Life – Helps prevent costly damage to metal parts exposed to water.

• OEM Fit Accuracy – Matches Yamaha factory specs for proper placement and protection.

• Marine Grade Material – Built specifically to perform in harsh saltwater and freshwater environments.
