Quicksilver aluminium anode kit for propeller nut on Bravo III drives is an original anode kit for protecting the propeller shaft nut area from galvanic corrosion. The kit contains a cast aluminium anode, a stainless steel hex bolt, and washers, and is intended for use in both fresh and salt water.
The anode kit fits MerCruiser Bravo III sterndrives with serial number 0M179452 and higher. Always check the drive's serial number and part number before ordering to ensure correct compatibility.
The aluminium anode acts as a sacrificial anode and corrodes instead of the drive's protected metal parts. The anode material meets or exceeds the MIL-A-24779(SH) standard. The anode should be checked regularly and replaced when significantly degraded.
The Quicksilver part number is 97-865182Q01. The kit replaces the previous numbers 865182A01 and 865182K01. The magnesium variant 865182A02 is a separate part and must not be used as direct identification for this aluminium kit.
