Quicksilver 826134Q Side Pocket Aluminum Anode for Mercury Mariner and Force Outboards

The Quicksilver 826134Q is a cast aluminum side pocket anode engineered to protect the gear case housing of Mercury, Mariner, and Force outboard motors from galvanic corrosion. Sold individually, this bolt-on anode installs easily with common tools and seats into the side pockets located just above the trim tab and anti-ventilation plate on the gear housing.

Key Features:

• Protects the gear case housing from galvanic corrosion damage
• Cast aluminum construction meets or exceeds military specification MIL-A-24779(SH)
• Provides longer-lasting corrosion protection compared to zinc anodes
• Suitable for use in both freshwater and saltwater environments
• Designed for fast, easy replacement using common hand tools
• Fits into side pockets above the trim tab and anti-ventilation plate
• Produced to Mercury Marine OEM specifications
• Sold individually; mounting hardware not included

Anodes function as sacrificial metals, corroding in place of critical components such as the propeller shaft and gear housing. For best protection, inspect this anode periodically and replace it when significant pitting or deterioration is observed. Cross-reference part numbers: 97-826134Q, 826134T, 826134A1.
