Another anode question???

[mtb55]

Stupid Question,

My 1998 15hp 2 cycle mercury has no anode so I was looking on iboats store and found this one (see below link) that is suppose to fit my outboard..... My question is where exactly dose this mount? I see no factory drilled holes on the motor?

On the sides of the LU just above the cav plate

Re: Another anode question???

there should be two similarly shaped indentions above the cav plate at the rear of the "tail" portion, there may be grey plastic "filler" pieces there just to make it look nice and you remove those to be replaced with the anodes but if for some reason your motor doesn't have these then it wont fit.

this is what it might look like: Clean 2001 Johnson 25 HP Short Shaft Electric Start Tiller Outboard Motor | eBay

there is going to be something similar for yours but if nothing is visable then your motor may use the trim tab style anode where the trim tab itself is your anode like seen here: Amazon.com: TRIM TAB, ANODE, Al | GLM Part Number: 12676; Mercury Part Number: 822157T2: Automotive

Part 12 and your link looks like the correct one, but i bet your is ok, its above the prop under the cav plate.
