Anode Drift Mercury Mariner 6 to 20Hp and Tohatsu, Diam 55mm Tecnoseal

ANODE DÉRIVE MERCURY MARINER 6 TO 20HP AND TOHATSU, DIAM 55MM TECNOSEAL: ESSENTIAL ANTICORROSION PROTECTION

A anode dérive Mercury Mariner 6 to 20HP and Tohatsu, Diam 55mm Tecnoseal is a sacrificial part designed to protect your outboard motor against galvanic corrosion. Installed on the dérive, it corrodes instead of the vital parts of the engine, thus extending its lifespan and ensuring optimal performance. Essential for sailing in salt or brackish water, this anode ensures the durability of your nautical equipment.

OPERATION AND INSTALLATION

The anode dérive is made of zinc, a less noble metal than the aluminum alloys used in the construction of the engine. In contact with seawater, an electric current is created, favoring the corrosion of the zinc of the anode rather than that of the more important parts of the engine. Regular replacement of the anode is crucial, as a worn anode can no longer effectively protect the engine. Installation is generally quick and easy, requiring only a few basic tools. Regular visual inspection will determine when to replace it, usually when the anode is reduced by half.
