Quicksilver round aluminum anode 97-823913Q is a genuine sacrificial anode for galvanic corrosion protection on compatible Mercury and Mariner outboard motors. The disc-shaped anode is manufactured from aluminum according to Mercury Marine OEM specifications and features a central mounting hole.
The anode fits Mercury and Mariner 2.5 hp and 3.3 hp 2-stroke engines from 1990 onwards, as well as F2.5 and F3.5 4-stroke engines from model year 2006 onwards. It is also documented for 6-40 hp 2-stroke engines produced in Japan from serial number 0N000001 and up. The mounting location varies by engine model and may include the gear housing, engine block, swivel or transom bracket, and the power trim area.
The outer diameter is approximately 23.8-24 mm, the thickness approximately 6.35-8 mm, and the center hole measures approximately 6-6.5 mm. The small ranges are due to rounding differences between sources for the same spare part. Fastening screw is not included.
The Quicksilver part number is 823913Q, while the Alpina Marine item number is 97-823913Q. The anode replaces the former numbers 823913 and 95271. Always check the engine model, serial number, and existing spare part number before ordering, as mounting location and application depend on the engine variant.
The anode should be inspected regularly and replaced when it is clearly degraded by corrosion so that the engine's corrosion protection is maintained.
