Product Details

The Quicksilver 8M0085692 Mercathode Electrode Assembly is a genuine OEM replacement electrode for the Mercury Marine MerCathode active galvanic corrosion protection system. Designed for use with MerCruiser Alpha and Bravo series sterndrive applications, this electrode assembly is a critical serviceable component of the MerCathode system that keeps underwater drive components protected from the damaging effects of galvanic corrosion.

The MerCathode system works by impressing a reverse-blocking current into the surrounding water, actively stopping the destructive flow of galvanic currents that can attack aluminum and other metal drive components. The electrode assembly mounts below the waterline on the gimbal housing and works in conjunction with the MerCathode controller and voltage reference cell to provide continuous, automatic corrosion protection — even when the ignition is off.

Key Features:

  • Genuine Quicksilver OEM replacement electrode assembly for the MerCathode corrosion protection system
  • Mounts below the waterline on the sterndrive gimbal housing
  • Compatible with MerCruiser Alpha and Bravo sterndrive applications
  • Includes quick-connect wiring for straightforward installation
  • Works with the MerCathode controller to deliver active, automatic galvanic corrosion protection
  • Supersedes legacy part numbers including 98869A17 and 98869A11
  • Backed by a 1-year Mercury Marine factory warranty against defects in materials and workmanship

Important Installation Note: Do not paint, coat, or clean the electrode with abrasive materials such as steel wool, sandpaper, or wire brushes, as doing so will render it ineffective. Ensure the rubber seal is properly seated during installation to prevent water intrusion into the boat.

As part of the Quicksilver line, this is a Mercury Marine Original Equipment replacement part — engineered to the same specifications as the factory-installed component for reliable, long-lasting corrosion protection.

Quick and easy to order. Prices were better than the other websites I have been to.

Awesome so far

Quick Ship. Thanks. Low Prices.

Smoothly designed web site, and I appreciate the convenience of the optional payment via Amazon.

Quick and easy

Lowest prices around the web and excellent customer service. The only real issue was the wait between placing the order and when it was shipped. Took 4 days but I chalk that up to the large amount of business they due to their prices being so competitive. For the lowest prices that I've seen I didn't mind waiting a bit longer!

easy, amazon pay is cool

Excellent low prices and very fast shipping! Will do business with this company in the future and tell everyone else about it!! Thanks Autoplocity!

Items were easy to find BUT the pictures for MOOG sway bar link were of Tie Rods. So confusing I had to call Tech support for clarification of my ordered parts.
