MARTYR Zinc Anode for OMC/Evinrude Saltwater
The MARTYR Zinc Anode is a pressure die-cast cathodic protection solution designed to safeguard ocean-going vessels, structures, and equipment made of iron, steel, aluminum, and magnesium from galvanic corrosion. Manufactured under a strict ISO 9001 Quality Management System, this anode's zinc alloy is guaranteed to meet or exceed the latest US Military Alloy Specification (MIL-DTL-18001L). Regular chemical testing in Martyr's in-house labs ensures consistent quality and purity, preventing protection failures that can occur with anodes containing high levels of impurities like iron. This specific anode, measuring approximately 1.23" x 1.9" x 1.28" (equivalent to about 1 1/4" Width x 2" Length x 1 1/4" Depth), is engineered for screw-on attachment and is compatible with OMC, Johnson/Evinrude engines, and BRP components, as well as sail drive wedges. It is intended for use as a replacement anode exclusively in saltwater environments and is not recommended for fresh water. The anode weighs 0.23 kg.

- Verify Part Number: Always double-check the specific anode part number against your engine's model and year to ensure perfect compatibility. OMC/Evinrude engines have various anode types.
- Material Matters: While this is a zinc anode for saltwater, be aware that aluminum anodes are often used in brackish water and magnesium in freshwater. Using the wrong type can lead to insufficient protection or premature consumption.
- Inspect Surrounding Area: When replacing anodes, inspect the mounting surface and surrounding metal for corrosion or damage. Ensure good electrical contact for the anode to function effectively.
- Consider Multi-Packs: Anodes are consumable items. If your engine requires multiple anodes or you perform annual maintenance, buying in multi-packs can often save on per-unit cost and shipping.
