Quicksilver 8M0217561 Aluminum Anode for 350-400 HP V10 Verado Outboard

The Quicksilver 8M0217561 is a genuine OEM aluminum sacrificial anode designed to protect 350–400 HP V10 Mercury Verado outboard engines from galvanic corrosion. This part supersedes the previous Mercury Marine part number 8M0012083 and is a direct functional replacement.

Sacrificial anodes work by attracting electrochemical corrosion away from critical aluminum and stainless steel engine components, effectively shielding your outboard from the damaging effects of prolonged exposure to fresh water and salt water environments.

Key Features:

• Genuine OEM Quicksilver/Mercury Marine part — not an aftermarket substitute
• Cast aluminum construction meets or exceeds military specification MIL-A-24779(SH)
• Provides longer-lasting corrosion protection compared to zinc anodes
• Suitable for both freshwater and saltwater use
• Designed for fast and easy replacement with common hand tools
• Supersedes Mercury Marine part number 8M0012083

For best results, inspect this anode periodically and replace it when signs of corrosion, pitting, or significant material loss are visible. Never paint an anode, as this will prevent it from functioning correctly. Refer to your Mercury Verado owner's manual or service manual for specific replacement intervals and installation instructions.
