Cabled magnesium fresh water anode for 1971 Mercruiser 165 MC-1 3084453

[59Thompson]

New to me '71 Thunderbird Comanche, 19' fiberglass cathedral hull, with above setup, well maintained. Will be docked in fresh water. I'm not seeing any anodes or kits for same other than the trim tab. Have seen the SS clamp-on, SS cabled magnesium 2lb anode and wonder who has experience with or references to determine if this will be the best way to go. Thanks for your help.

Ayuh,..... Unless it's docked in a "Hot" marina, the trim tab, 'n the acorns on the transom bolts should be enough,.....

It is also possible that he has the earlier style anode bolts with out the acorns.

Thanks, I've got the magnesium trim tab now and the two magnesium anodes that fit on the transom screws and their rubber washers.
