Technical Specifications

Package Contents

• 1 x Trim Tab Zinc Anode (Replaces 6E5-45371-01-00)
• *Note: Mounting bolt sold separately*

Installation Guide

1. Safety First: Disconnect the engine's battery before starting work.
2. Locate the Anode: Find the old trim tab anode on the underside of the anti-ventilation plate (the plate just above the propeller) on your outboard's lower unit.
3. Remove the Old Anode: Use a socket wrench to loosen and remove the mounting bolt that secures the anode. This bolt is typically accessed from the top of the anti-ventilation plate.
4. Clean the Mounting Surface: Thoroughly clean the mounting area on the lower unit where the anode sits. Ensure a clean, bare-metal connection for proper electrical continuity, which is critical for corrosion protection.
5. Install the New Anode: Position the new trim tab anode onto the cleaned surface.
6. Secure the Anode: Insert the mounting bolt (sold separately) and tighten it to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification. Do not over-tighten.
7. Final Check: Reconnect the battery and confirm the anode is secure.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I confirm this anode fits my engine? This anode is designed for a broad range of Yamaha 115-200 HP outboards from 1984 to current. The best way to ensure fitment is to consult the Compatible Engine Models table on this page and verify your specific model and year. Cross-referencing your old part number with the ones listed is also a reliable method.

How often should I replace my trim tab anode? You should inspect all anodes at least once a year, or more frequently in aggressive saltwater environments. Anodes should be replaced when they are 50% corroded. A heavily pitted or crumbling anode is no longer effective and should be replaced immediately, regardless of age, to protect your engine.

What are the signs that a trim tab anode needs replacement? Visible signs include severe pitting, crumbling, or significant reduction in size. Functionally, you might notice increased corrosion on other metal parts of your lower unit, such as the propeller or gearcase housing. This indicates the anode is no longer providing adequate sacrificial protection.
