Volvo Penta Anodes

Volvo Penta anodes are installed from the factory on all Volvo Penta outdrives, saildrives and transom shields. Never fit a non-genuine anode to your Saildrive, transom shield or drive leg. Volvo Penta anodes are made to exact specifications to protect the underwater gear from corrosion.

We supply all anodes for Saildrives, folding prop hub anodes, shaft anodes and pencil anodes for diesel engines.

Aluminium anodes should be used in brackish or saltwater use. A magnesium version should be used for freshwater. Anodes should not be mixed on any installation and should be inspected as often as possible, especially if the boat is in a marine environment with shore power around. If the anode is worn by more than a third, it will need to be changed, due to its surface area being reduced.

Always use genuine Volvo Penta anodes to ensure maximum protection on Sterndrives, Saildrive's and propellers. Non-OEM anodes never meet or exceed genuine Volvo Penta replacement anodes. Some found on auction sites have, in the past found to be counterfeit. If you are unsure as to the exact part for your Volvo Penta engine, please call us.
