Martyr Zinc Anode Kit for MerCruiser Bravo III (2004–Present) — Saltwater
A complete set of sacrificial anodes for the updated MerCruiser Bravo III sterndrive (2004 and newer), formulated in zinc alloy for saltwater use. This five-piece kit covers all primary corrosion exposure points on the current Bravo III drive — including both trim tab positions and the prop nut — for a full anode service in one order.
Note: this kit is specific to the 2004 and newer Bravo III. If your drive is a Bravo III from 1989–2003, see the Bravo II/III zinc kit (CMBRAVO23KITZ) instead.
Zinc is the traditional choice for saltwater environments. If you operate in freshwater or move between fresh and salt water, see the magnesium and aluminum alternatives linked below.

Service Interval
Replace all anodes at each annual haulout, or when any individual anode has worn to approximately 50% of its original size — whichever comes first. In high-galvanic marina environments, inspect more frequently as depletion rates can vary based on surrounding vessels and dock wiring conditions.
Parts Desk Insights
The most common ordering mistake with Bravo III anode kits is confusing the 2004-and-newer kit with the earlier 1989–2003 Bravo III kit. The 2004+ drive added a second trim tab position and a prop nut anode, so the component count is different — ordering the wrong kit means missing anode coverage on part of the drive. Always confirm your drive’s model year before ordering. For boats that move between fresh and salt water, the aluminum CMBRAVO3KITA kit is the more versatile choice — aluminum outperforms zinc in brackish conditions and lasts longer in full saltwater. Replace all five anodes together as a set for consistent protection across the full service interval.
