Common Concerns Answered
I have a Yamaha outboard that's not listed in the common HP range. Will this anode fit?
While this anode is specifically designed for Yamaha 115-300hp outboards and replaces part number 6G5-45251-02, fitment for older or less common Yamaha models can sometimes be challenging. It is recommended to verify the compatibility with your specific engine model and serial number before purchase.
I've had issues with cheap hardware in the past. How is the quality of the included mounting hardware?
While there can be rare instances of hardware quality issues with aftermarket products, this Performance Metals anode is manufactured to military specifications, implying a higher standard of overall product quality.
