B & S Anodes BSMM55989 Mercury Trim Tab Anode - Zinc

Manufacturer

B & S Anodes

<h3>Premium Marine Corrosion Protection Solutions</h3><p>B & S Anodes delivers specialized corrosion protection products designed to safeguard marine vessels, equipment, and underwater metal components from the destructive effects of electrolysis and galvanic corrosion. With roots in electrochemical engineering and cathodic protection technology, the brand has established itself as a trusted supplier of marine-grade protective anodes for boaters, shipyards, and marine maintenance professionals.</p><h3>Advanced Anode Technology for Marine Applications</h3><p>Marine environments present unique challenges for metal components. Saltwater acts as an electrolyte that accelerates galvanic corrosion, potentially causing thousands of dollars in damage to propellers, rudders, trim tabs, and through-hull fittings. B & S Anodes addresses these concerns by providing sacrificial anodes that corrode preferentially, protecting more valuable metal components from degradation. Their <a href="/7244-b-s-anodes-anodeszincs-200103">anodes and zincs</a> are engineered to meet the demanding requirements of saltwater, brackish water, and freshwater marine environments.</p><p>The company's product line reflects a deep understanding of electrochemical principles and marine corrosion science. Each anode is manufactured to provide consistent electrical potential and reliable sacrificial protection throughout its service life. Whether protecting an outboard motor, sterndrive, shaft, or rudder, proper anode selection and installation is critical to preventing costly corrosion damage.</p><h3>Comprehensive Protection Systems</h3><p>Beyond individual protective anodes, B & S Anodes offers complete <a href="/7244-b-s-anodes-anode-kits-200102">anode kits</a> that provide comprehensive corrosion protection for specific marine applications. These carefully assembled kits take the guesswork out of corrosion protection by including all necessary components for complete vessel protection. For marine professionals and boat owners who understand that proper maintenance extends vessel life and preserves resale value, having the right combination of anodes in the correct locations is essential.</p><p>The brand's expertise extends to specialized marine components, including precision-engineered parts like <a href="/7244-b-s-anodes-engine-rocker-arm-shaft-5680">engine rocker arm shafts</a>, demonstrating their broad technical capabilities in marine and industrial applications. This diverse product range reflects the company's engineering background in electrochemical systems and marine equipment manufacturing.</p><h3>Why Marine Corrosion Protection Matters</h3><p>Regular anode inspection and replacement is one of the most cost-effective maintenance practices for any vessel. Neglected or depleted anodes can lead to rapid deterioration of expensive components like propellers, shafts, and underwater metal fittings. B & S Anodes provides the protective solutions that help boat owners avoid emergency haul-outs, costly repairs, and premature component replacement, making proper corrosion protection an investment in long-term vessel integrity.</p>

Product Details

The B & S Anodes BSMM55989 is a zinc trim tab anode designed specifically for Mercury outdrives and outboard motors. This sacrificial anode provides critical corrosion protection by attracting galvanic current that would otherwise attack more expensive metal components of your drive system.

Key Features:

  • Zinc alloy construction ideal for saltwater and brackish water environments
  • Direct replacement trim tab anode for Mercury applications
  • Protects aluminum and stainless steel components from galvanic corrosion
  • Easy bolt-on installation on trim tab surface
  • Helps extend the life of outdrives and lower units

Important Installation Note: Always check propeller clearance after installing new trim tab anodes to ensure adequate spacing and prevent potential interference during operation.

Regular inspection and replacement of sacrificial anodes is essential preventative maintenance for any marine drive system. Replace anodes when they have deteriorated to approximately 50% of their original size to maintain optimal corrosion protection.

Great site with great prices! Ordered an O2 bung from these guys and it came earlier than expected. The bung looks of decent quality and definitely can't wait to get my wideband in to start tuning.

very easy and fast purchase but concerned as fedex requires no signature for delivery and is not careful to which house yard it leaves packages in the front of ,so far anyway.

Fast and easy to find my parts and purchase them

Easy and fast

Reasonable shipping, quick checkout with amazon.

easy and quick

So far so good

Smooth

So far so good..

Best price I could find! Shipped through UPS, great service.

Couldn't be more happy with my product. I ordered from Autoplicity because they were the cheapest price around and I received my order within 5 days. I have installed the cold air intake and couldn't believe all the extra power. I am very pleased with the entire transaction.

The order process was fast and easy. I was able to determine the part I wanted with the help of their sales department. I purchased my H&R lowering springs for less then I could find anywhere else and I also got a great deal on my EBC Green Stuff brake pads. The following day however i noticed a descrepency in my shipping address in the confirmation e-mail they sent me. After being dicsconnected multiple times and at least 6 seperate attempts to reach the shipping department i was finally connected and assured that the information that they had was correct. It did seem like a waste of 45 minutes but at least I know that the parts are going to be delivered to the correct address.
