Parts Desk Insight
This is one of the key Verado saltwater protection anodes. If it’s neglected, corrosion can start working into expensive nearby components quickly, so it’s worth replacing on schedule rather than waiting for it to disappear. That last sentence is an inference based on the part’s purpose as a sacrificial corrosion anode.
