Package Contents

• 1 × Aluminum anode plate (76214Q5)

Installation Guide

1. Ensure the engine is off and the lower unit is accessible. Remove the old anode plate by unscrewing the mounting fasteners.
2. Clean the mounting surface on the trim tab thoroughly to remove corrosion, debris, or old gasket material. A clean metal-to-metal contact is essential for proper anode function.
3. Position the new anode plate on the trim tab, aligning all mounting holes. Install the fasteners and tighten securely in a cross pattern to ensure even contact.
4. Inspect the installed anode regularly (every 30-60 days in saltwater use). Replace when the anode has eroded by approximately 50% to maintain adequate corrosion protection.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I know if this anode fits my drive or outboard?
A: Cross-check your engine or drive model against the compatibility table above. If you have a Mercury/Mariner 35-300 HP outboard (1995+), Force 90/120 HP (1995+), or MerCruiser AlphaOne Gen II or Bravo series drive, this anode will fit. Verify your existing part number matches 76214Q5.

Q: How often should I replace this anode?
A: Inspect the anode every 30-60 days if used in saltwater. Replace it when approximately 50% of the material has eroded to ensure continued protection against galvanic corrosion.

Q: What happens if I don't replace a worn anode?
A: A depleted anode will no longer protect your lower unit, trim tab, or other metal components, allowing galvanic corrosion to attack critical parts. This can lead to pitting, structural damage, and costly repairs.

Q: Why isn't my anode corroding as expected?
A: Poor electrical contact is the most common cause. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of paint, oxidation, or gasket sealant. The anode must make direct metal-to-metal contact to function properly.
