Sacrificial Anode

macroft1 · February 15, 2016

Hi all.

The anode is missing from my outboard - should I replace it?

The boat is kept in a dry berth and launched when we use it. This is probably a total of three weeks per year.

Can anyone advise?

Regards,

Mark.

Three weeks immersion per year is certainly very minimal, but if any of that is in salt or brackish water, it's still better to have an anode on there.

It won't do any harm anyhow, and they're very cheap, (especially if they're not wearing down !)
