Manufacturer

Camp Zinc

<h3>About Camp Zinc (Camp Company)</h3><p><strong>Camp Zinc</strong>, the consumer-facing brand of Camp Company, is a leading manufacturer of marine anodes. Their zinc and aluminum sacrificial anodes are manufactured in the US to ensure the highest quality of corrosion protection. For boaters, that American-made heritage matters — it means consistent alloy quality, tighter tolerances, and confidence that every anode performs as advertised when your boat hits the water.</p><h3>What Are Sacrificial Anodes and Why Do They Matter?</h3><p>Galvanic corrosion is one of the most damaging and insidious threats to any vessel. Cathodic protection is one of the most effective methods of preventing galvanic corrosion on underwater metal constructions and in heat exchangers, and sacrificial anodes are the main components of this kind of protection — though they have to be replaced regularly for best effect. In simple terms, a sacrificial anode is a less-noble metal (zinc or aluminum) that corrodes in place of your expensive underwater hardware, sparing your propeller shafts, rudders, and drive components from damage.</p><h3>A Full Range of Marine Anode Solutions</h3><p>Camp Company anodes are manufactured for use on recreational, commercial, and military vessels, placed on hulls, propeller shafts, rudders, trim tabs, outboard engines, stern drives, and in the cooling system of most inboard engines to protect metal parts from galvanic corrosion. That breadth of coverage is a hallmark of the brand — whether you run a small outboard skiff or a large commercial workboat, Camp Zinc has a purpose-built anode solution.</p><p>At the heart of Camp Zinc&apos;s lineup are their <a href="/7286-camp-zinc-anode-kits-201633">Anode Kits</a>, which bundle together all the anodes needed to fully protect a specific engine or drive system. Rather than sourcing individual pieces, boaters can grab a kit and know their entire drivetrain is covered. Camp also offers a second, complementary line of <a href="/7286-camp-zinc-anode-kits-200102">Anode Kits</a> tailored to a different range of outboard and sterndrive applications, making it easy to find the right match for your specific make and model.</p><p>For boaters who need ancillary hardware to complete their anode installations, Camp Zinc also supplies <a href="/7286-camp-zinc-tie-strap-and-clip-10142">Tie Straps and Clips</a> — the small but essential fastening components that secure anodes and associated wiring properly to the vessel.</p><h3>MIL-SPEC Standards You Can Trust</h3><p>Camp Company is one of the leading American enterprises specializing in manufacturing aluminum and zinc marine anodes, and the company makes its products compliant with high standards and special military specifications peculiar to this kind of goods. Marine anodes conform to MIL-SPEC standards, including Mil-A-18001 for zinc anodes. These standards ensure that every anode has the proper electrochemical potential to protect your boat&apos;s metal components — no guesswork, no shortcuts.</p><p>Whether you&apos;re maintaining a Yamaha outboard, a Volvo Penta sterndrive, a Mercury drive, or a commercial inboard, Camp Zinc delivers the corrosion protection professionals and passionate boaters alike have depended on for years.</p>

Product Details

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.

I had never heard of Autoplicity until I started shopping for an exhaust. I didn't think I was going to find the one I wanted at a decent price. Not only did they have my exhaust at a screaming deal, they had it to my door in perfect shape in 6 days including the evening of purchase and a weekend. I'll definitely look at buying from them again.

More than I wanted to spend on a cargo carrier, and I'm worried it won't fit my vehicle. Hoping for the best!

Great place to buy automotive stuff. Good customer service and has good automotive products.

Very smooth transaction. Extremely fast shipment. I highly recommend this merchant!

easy to find site

Product was as described, shipping was fast, and communication was excellent. Plus I saved $$. Thanks Autoplicity! I'll be a repeat buyer and referral source.

Pretty simple so far

Best price online for the programmer I ordered. Fast and reasonable shipping costs.

Had what was looking for at good price. First purchase from autoplicity so somewhat unsure about company but will soon find out if reputable or no?

best price around and quick order placement
