HOLD DN KT FOR PERM TNK MPN-35710

Protect your valuable marine propulsion system from the relentless corrosive effects of saltwater with the Sierra Zinc Anode DPS Starboard. This sacrificial anode is specifically designed to be the first line of defense against galvanic corrosion, drawing the corrosive action away from more critical metal components of your boat's lower unit. By strategically sacrificing itself, this zinc anode ensures that expensive parts like propellers, shafts, and gears remain intact and free from damage, significantly extending their lifespan and maintaining optimal performance.

• Key Features
• Targeted Defense: Designed for the starboard side of the lower unit, ensuring comprehensive coverage for vulnerable components.
• Extended Component Life: Protects expensive parts such as propellers, gears, and shafts from pitting and degradation.

The Sierra Zinc Anode DPS Starboard is an indispensable piece of equipment for any boat operating in saltwater or brackish water. Galvanic corrosion occurs when dissimilar metals are submerged in an electrolyte (like seawater), creating an electrical current that causes the less noble metal to corrode. Anodes are made from a less noble metal than the protected components, meaning they will corrode instead of the propeller, drive shaft, or other vital parts. This proactive protection is far more cost-effective than repairing or replacing corroded components. Regular inspection and replacement of anodes are a fundamental aspect of marine maintenance, ensuring the safety and reliability of your vessel.

This anode's placement on the starboard side is crucial for providing localized protection to the corresponding components of your lower unit. The DPS (Drive Protection System) designation often indicates a specific design for certain drive types, ensuring optimal fit and function. By actively corroding, the zinc anode dissipates the electrical energy that would otherwise attack your metal parts, effectively neutralizing the corrosive process. Investing in high-quality anodes like this Sierra model is a proactive measure that safeguards your marine investment, reduces the likelihood of costly repairs, and ensures your boat is always ready for the water. Its durable construction and precise formulation make it a reliable choice for boaters who demand the best in corrosion prevention.
