The zinc anode is an essential part to protect Honda and Tohatsu outboard motors against galvanic corrosion. Its function is to sacrifice itself electrochemically, protecting the motor's metal components in marine environments.
Compatibility
- Honda: 06411-ZW1-000, 06411-ZW1-010, 06411-ZW1-020
- Tohatsu: HZW106411020
- Check your motor's reference before purchasing.
Operation
- The anode is installed on the lower part of the motor or in recommended locations.
- Being made of zinc, it attracts corrosion, thus preventing deterioration of other metal parts.
Advantages
- Extends motor lifespan.
- Easy to install and replace.
- Effective in saltwater and brackish water environments.
Installation and Maintenance
- Replace the anode when wear exceeds 50%.
- Clean the surface before installation to ensure electrical contact.
- Regularly check condition, especially if used year-round.
