MerCruiser Mercathode Kit

MerCruiser Mercathode Kit – Advanced Corrosion Protection for Your Sterndrive

The MerCruiser Mercathode Kit is a vital component of your boat’s corrosion protection system, designed to provide continuous, automatic defense against galvanic corrosion. Specifically engineered for MerCruiser sterndrives and transoms, this kit delivers reliable protection in both saltwater and brackish environments where corrosion risk is higher.

This complete kit includes the Mercathode anode assembly, controller module, wiring harness, and all necessary mounting hardware for a seamless installation. The Mercathode system works by delivering a low-voltage electrical current to your boat’s drive, effectively neutralizing galvanic currents that can cause destructive corrosion. Unlike sacrificial anodes alone, the Mercathode system offers more consistent, active protection 24/7—even when your boat is at rest.

Ideal for aluminum and steel components, the system is especially useful for boats with mixed-metal underwater hardware. The Mercathode is powered directly by your boat’s electrical system, drawing minimal current and operating efficiently without the need for user input or maintenance. Once installed, it functions automatically to extend the life of your MerCruiser drive and improve overall performance.

Engineered and manufactured by Mercury Marine, the Mercathode Kit meets OEM standards and is a direct replacement or upgrade for existing corrosion control systems. It is compatible with most Alpha and Bravo series MerCruiser drives. For best results, it is recommended to regularly inspect the system during routine maintenance and pair it with quality sacrificial anodes for complete protection.

Protect your investment and keep your MerCruiser sterndrive in peak condition with the MerCruiser Mercathode Kit. Whether you’re cruising, fishing, or docked, this kit ensures your drive is safeguarded from the damaging effects of electrolytic corrosion—delivering peace of mind every time you hit the water.
