Corrosion can sneak up on even the most seasoned boater, and when it does, it’s usually the small, unseen spots that take the biggest hit. That’s why a good anode gives you real confidence. This Mercury Marine part is the kind of simple, dependable protection you appreciate every time you trim the drive up at the end of a long day. It’s solid, it fits right, and it does its job quietly so you can focus on the water instead of worrying about what’s happening beneath it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eComplete aluminum anode kit for Bravo Three prop nut assemblies.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eDesigned for MerCruiser Bravo Three drives (serial number 0M179452 and newer).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eIncludes cast aluminum anode, Stainless Steel bolt, and washers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eMeets or exceeds MIL-A-24779(SH) corrosion-protection standards.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eBuilt to Mercury Marine OEM specifications.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eMercury Marine part number 865182Q01.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eEngine \u0026amp; Boat Compatibility\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eFits Bravo Three sterndrives with prop nut anode attachment.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eWorks on boats using twin counter-rotating propeller systems.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eIdeal for cruisers, pontoons, sport boats, cabin boats, and coastal fishing boats.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eEffective in both freshwater and saltwater environments.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Practical Benefits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eWhen you hold this anode in your hand, you can feel its purpose — dense, rugged, and ready to sacrifice itself before corrosion touches anything more expensive. Aluminum anodes offer stronger and longer-lasting protection than traditional zinc, especially for boats that jump between freshwater and saltwater. They activate quickly and stay effective across a wide range of conditions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eOnce installed, the anode forms a tight, secure connection around the prop shaft assembly. You’ll notice its clean fit immediately — no wobble, no awkward alignment, no forcing hardware into place. The Stainless Steel bolt gives the whole assembly a solid, confident feel that holds up to vibration and long seasons of use.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eOn the water, this anode works silently. It shields the drive housing, prop shaft, and surrounding components from galvanic corrosion — the kind that creeps in when dissimilar metals and stray electrical currents mix. That kind of protection extends the life of your Bravo Three drive dramatically. Over time, you’ll see the anode take the wear while the drive remains clean, smooth, and structurally sound. That’s exactly what you want.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eInspecting and replacing the anode is just as easy. A quick glance during haul-out or at the dock tells you how much life is left.
