Camp Zinc 17264 Trim Tab Anode for Mercury/Force Outboard 50-75 HP

The Camp Zinc 17264 is a high-quality zinc trim tab anode designed to protect Mercury, Mariner, and Force outboard engines from the damaging effects of galvanic corrosion in saltwater and brackish water environments. This sacrificial anode attaches to the trim tab of your outboard motor, where it corrodes preferentially to protect more valuable metal components of your engine.

Key Features:

• Zinc alloy construction ideal for saltwater and brackish water applications
• 4-inch base diameter provides optimal surface area for corrosion protection
• Meets military specifications: Mil-Spec A-18001K, Mil-Spec A-18001A, and Mil-Spec A-18001
• Direct replacement for Mercury OEM part number 17264
• Easy to inspect and replace as part of routine maintenance

Compatibility:

• Mercury/Mariner 50, 55, and 60 HP outboards (1996 and newer)
• Force 70 and 75 HP outboards

Important Installation Note: Always check propeller clearance after installing new trim tab anodes to ensure proper fitment and avoid interference with propeller rotation. Mounting hardware (M10 x 30mm bolt) sold separately.

Regular inspection and replacement of sacrificial anodes is critical for protecting your outboard motor investment. Replace anodes when they have eroded to approximately 50% of their original size to maintain optimal corrosion protection.
