Does anyone know if the stock Mercruiser Alpha One outdrive comes stock with magnesium or zinc anodes? Ill be running in saltwater/brackish (sp) for the next couple years in the gulf.

Thanks for any help.:cool:

I am looking in my manual right now. There are two systems.
1THE mercathode system and the quick selver anti corrosion anode kit.
I have anodes in the folloeing places
Gearcase anodic plate
Centilatoin plate gimbal mounted
Trim cylinder anodes and anodes in the berring carrier.
They are all zinc and should be replaced when over 50% consumed.
