Martyr Aluminum Anode Kit – Volvo Penta 290
Protect your Volvo Penta 290 sterndrive from galvanic corrosion with this complete aluminum anode kit. Formulated for salt and brackish water use, this kit covers all critical anode positions on the 290 drive in a single purchase — the right parts, the right material, with all hardware included.
Aluminum anodes are the preferred choice for salt and brackish water environments, outperforming zinc in higher-conductivity conditions. Replacing all anodes at the same time ensures balanced, consistent protection across the entire drive.

Parts Desk Insights
Best use case: This kit is the go-to choice for boaters with a Volvo Penta 290 single-prop drive running in salt or brackish water who want to replace all drive anodes at once during seasonal haul-out or annual maintenance. Replacing the full set at the same time is best practice — mixing old and new anodes reduces overall corrosion protection. If you are running a dual-prop 290 drive, see the Martyr CM290DPKITA Dual Prop Anode Kit instead. For freshwater use only, a magnesium anode kit is recommended. Individual components are also available: V18 Anode and CMT-852835A Anode Bar.
