An anode kit is one of those quiet guardians — working day after day while you focus on the run ahead. There is real comfort in knowing the metals beneath your boat are shielded from corrosion, especially when you boat in shifting tides, varying salinity, and all kinds of weather. The Mercury Marine part number 8M6007988 Quicksilver Aluminum Anode Kit gives you that sense of security, the kind that lets you settle into the rhythm of the water without worrying about what is happening under the surface.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eComplete aluminum anode kit engineered for Volvo SX sterndrives\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eLightweight cast aluminum designed for superior durability and longer service life\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eMeets or exceeds military specification MIL-A-24779(SH)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eAluminum construction offers improved corrosion resistance over zinc in many environments\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eIncludes all required anodes, Stainless Steel hardware, and clear installation instructions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eDesigned for quick replacement using common tools\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003ePart Number: 8M6007988\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eEngine \u0026amp; Boat Compatibility\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eMade for Volvo SX sterndrives\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eSuitable for freshwater and saltwater use\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eIdeal for bowriders, offshore runabouts, cruisers, deck boats, and pontoons equipped with Volvo SX drives\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eWorks well for seasonal boaters, year-round operators, and anyone who keeps their boat slipped in the water\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Practical Benefits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eThe performance difference with this anode kit is something you feel more than you see.

The fit feels clean, with no awkward adjustments or forced alignments. Over time, as the anodes gradually sacrifice themselves, you are protecting far more expensive components — and saving yourself from repairs that can cut into your boating season. The lightweight nature of aluminum also contributes to longer service life, often outlasting zinc options in harsh marine environments.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eMaintenance becomes simpler, too. A quick annual inspection lets you see exactly how the anodes are holding up. Replacement is fast, with hardware designed for straightforward removal and re-installation.

With this OEM anode kit, you know the materials meet strict standards and are designed specifically to match your sterndrive. That means fewer surprises, better longevity, and protection you can count on. Aftermarket kits might look similar, but they rarely offer the same metal quality or consistent fit. When you want a kit that works right from the start — and keeps working without worry — choosing OEM is simply the practical choice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eQ1: Which systems does the Quicksilver Aluminum Anode Kit fit?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e It fits Volvo SX sterndrives.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eQ2: What makes this anode kit different from aftermarket versions?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e It uses high-quality cast aluminum, meets military specifications, and includes corrosion-resistant Stainless Steel hardware.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eQ3: How do I know if this is the correct replacement?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e Match your drive model to part number 8M6007988 or confirm with your owner’s manual.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eQ4: Can this be used in both saltwater and freshwater?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e Yes, the aluminum design performs well in both environments.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eQ5: Is installation straightforward?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e Yes, most boaters can replace the anodes easily with common tools.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mercury","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46933618819363,"sku":"97-8M6007988","price":53.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/7410\/9475\/files\/8m6007988_main.jpg?v=1760631515","url":"https:\/\/partsvu.com\/en-au\/products\/mercury-wa-anode-kit-volvo-sx-al-8m6007988","provider":"PartsVu","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
