Product Details

The Performance Metals 10195A is a prop anode retrofit kit designed specifically for older Mercruiser Bravo 3 sterndrive outdrives (2003 and earlier). This kit adds critical sacrificial anode protection to outdrive components that were not originally equipped with prop anodes, delivering enhanced galvanic corrosion defense for aging drives.

The anodes in this kit are crafted from Performance Metals' proprietary Navalloy® aluminum alloy, manufactured to military specification MIL-DTL-24779. Navalloy aluminum is more electrochemically active than zinc, providing superior cathodic protection across all water types—salt, brackish, and fresh. Unlike zinc anodes, aluminum will not become passive in low-salinity environments, making this kit a reliable choice regardless of where your boat operates.

Each anode in the Performance Metals Premium Line features the exclusive, patented "Red Spot" wear indicator—an embedded plastic marker that surfaces as the anode corrodes, giving you a clear visual cue when it's time for replacement and eliminating guesswork during routine maintenance inspections.

Kit Includes:

  • Retrofit prop anode(s) for Bravo 3 (2003 and earlier) outdrive
  • Replacement brass nut
  • Mounting hardware
  • Installation instructions

Key Features:

  • Navalloy® aluminum alloy meets military spec MIL-DTL-24779
  • Suitable for salt, brackish, and freshwater use
  • Patented "Red Spot" wear indicator for easy inspection
  • Includes all necessary hardware for complete installation
  • Note: Aluminum anodes are the OEM-specified anode material for Mercury and Mercruiser drives; use of zinc anodes may void the manufacturer warranty

The Performance Metals 10195A retrofit kit is the correct solution for upgrading older Bravo 3 outdrives with modern prop anode corrosion protection, extending drive life and reducing costly corrosion damage.
