Yamaha - Bracket Anode - Corrosion Protection Component - 9.9 15 C30 - 61N-45251-01-00

If you run smaller Yamaha two stroke outboards in saltwater, you quickly learn how important anodes are. The Yamaha 61N-45251-01-00 Bracket Anode helps protect the bracket and surrounding metal components from corrosion by sacrificing itself first. It is a simple piece of hardware, but it plays a big role in preventing long term damage to the motor.

Over time the anode slowly wears down as it does its job. That is normal and exactly what you want it to do. Replacing it when it becomes heavily eroded helps keep the outboard bracket protected and extends the life of the engine's external components.

Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does a bracket anode do on an outboard motor?
A: It protects metal components from corrosion by sacrificing itself and attracting corrosive activity away from the engine.

Q: How do I know when the anode needs to be replaced?
A: When the anode has worn down significantly or appears heavily corroded, it is time to replace it.

Q: Is replacing an anode important for saltwater boating?
A: Yes. Saltwater environments accelerate corrosion, making properly functioning anodes extremely important.

Q: Can a worn anode damage my outboard?
A: If the anode is completely consumed, corrosion can begin affecting the engine bracket and nearby metal parts.

Q: Is installation difficult?
A: Most bracket anodes are straightforward to install and are commonly replaced during routine engine maintenance.
