Re: aftermarket Anodes

seems like its resonable for 40 bucks.... I mean it is high, but probably pay the same if not more from a dealer. You know how it is, boats , jet skis, bikes, and other toys , they get you for the parts..

Re: aftermarket Anodes

the correct ones from the dealer, for a bravo 2, are $65 for a complete set, and there is a difference between the freshwater ones and the saltwater ones. ive got a set coming , too little difference in money to take a chance.
