1999 5.7L V8 - Alpha One - Zincs

[Gfriedman]

I know i need them, just don't know where they go on the boat.

I am looking to order this:

http://www.ebasicpower.com/pc/GLM12...ode Kit for Mercruiser Alpha One Gen. II.html

1) is almunim the right way to go? I plan on using in Fresh and Salt Water

2) Where on the out drive do these bolt on? I am sure its more straight forward when i have both in front of me, but does anyone have a diagram or some pics of theirs?

Thanks,

Garrett

Get the OEM aluminum anodes for your drive, not aftermarket.

Up in the Adults Only sticky is a link to the OEM service manuals, you need #14 for your outdrive, and it will show you how to install the anodes.

Here is the service bulletin on why to use OEM.

So you would agree that Aluminum is the way to go over Zinc or Magnesium?

I thought I answered that.
