Mercury Anodes

Mercury anodes protect metal components exposed to water, helping reduce galvanic corrosion on outboards and related marine hardware. The right anode depends on the exact model and the mounting location, because shapes and fixings vary across generations and setups. This collection groups Mercury anodes by common applications and anode positions.

What do I need to confirm the correct Mercury anode?

Provide the model and year, or serial if you have it, and tell us the anode location you are replacing, such as trim tab, plate, bracket, or ring position. Then match the shape, thickness, and hole spacing, and confirm the fixing type. Part numbers from diagrams or packaging can help validate. Photos of the old anode and where it mounts are usually enough to confirm fitment when markings are missing.

Which anode material should I use for Mercury applications?

Material choice depends on your typical water type and usage. Many owners replace like-for-like based on what has worn normally. If you are changing material, switch the set together across the same protected system and keep material consistent within that system. If you tell us your water type and what the anodes fit, it is easier to guide the selection.

Why are my Mercury anodes wearing unevenly across the same setup?

Uneven wear can be caused by missing anodes, poor contact at one mounting point, differences in immersion, or electrical issues such as bonding faults or stray current. Check that each anode is seated on clean metal contact and is tight. Confirm all expected anode locations are fitted. If one anode disappears rapidly, consider marina and shore power conditions and inspect wiring and connections for corrosion or faults.

Mercury anodes, chosen by model, location and measurements


Confirm the exact anode position on your unit

A Mercury trim tab anode is a different part to a plate or bracket anode. Start by identifying the mounting point and how the anode attaches, then match the correct shape and fixing style. This avoids the most common mistake: ordering the right brand anode for the wrong position.


Use measurements to avoid near-match issues

Measure the old anode or the mounting point, focusing on hole spacing, thickness, and profile. Even small differences can prevent correct seating or reduce contact. A photo next to a ruler is often enough to validate, especially when old anodes are heavily wasted and markings are unreadable.

Fit for clean contact and keep wear predictable

Clean paint and oxidation from the contact area before fitting. Tighten fixings evenly and check the anode sits flush. Inspect after a few outings and again at service intervals. Extremely fast wear can indicate electrical issues or marina conditions, while no wear often means poor contact or an unsuitable material choice.
