They’re there to take the hit from corrosion so your lower unit and other metal components don’t have to. I always tell people to check them regularly, especially if you’re running in saltwater. Keeping a fresh anode on the motor is cheap insurance against bigger repairs down the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"491\" data-end=\"494\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1j5qwet\" data-start=\"496\" data-end=\"515\"\u003e\u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"516\" data-end=\"956\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"wb2wat\" data-start=\"516\" data-end=\"631\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"518\" data-end=\"554\"\u003eSacrificial Corrosion Protection\u003c\/strong\u003e – Attracts corrosion to protect critical engine and lower unit components.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"klokaw\" data-start=\"632\" data-end=\"744\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"634\" data-end=\"669\"\u003eMarine-Grade Alloy Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e – Designed to perform reliably in both fresh and saltwater environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1jlm5da\" data-start=\"745\" data-end=\"847\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"747\" data-end=\"771\"\u003eDirect Mount Fitment\u003c\/strong\u003e – Installs easily in the factory location for proper protection coverage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1ejiynl\" data-start=\"848\" data-end=\"956\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"850\" data-end=\"878\"\u003eLong-Lasting Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e – Provides extended protection before needing replacement under normal use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"958\" data-end=\"961\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1ww02hn\" data-start=\"963\" data-end=\"997\"\u003e\u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003eEngine \u0026amp; Boat Compatibility\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"998\" data-end=\"1200\"\u003eDesigned for Yamaha 2-stroke outboard engines with standard corrosion protection systems.
