Sacrificial anodes are your stern drive's first line of defense against galvanic corrosion. This aluminum anode is specifically formulated for use in saltwater and brackish water environments. By corroding preferentially, it protects more expensive metal components like the trim cylinder from deterioration, extending the service life of your drive and reducing maintenance costs.
