- Zinc anodes form a coating that stops them working within a few months
- Navalloy anodes are essential for Mercury sterndrives
- Zinc will not provide the correct protection
- Navalloy anodes are recommended for both salt and freshwater on Mercury sterndrives
- Environmentally friendly
- Reactivate after exposure to the atmosphere
- You should not mix different types of anodes on the same bonding system
- Do not use magnesium anodes in salt or brackish water - they will over-protect aluminum outdrives or hulls
