Seachoice Anode Kit – Volvo Penta DPS / SX-A Drives, Aluminum | Saltwater
This aluminum anode kit is designed for a wide range of Volvo Penta DPS and SX-A stern drives used in saltwater and brackish water environments. It provides corrosion protection at the two primary anode positions on the drive, replacing both sacrificial anodes in one convenient kit.
All components are cadmium-free and conform to Mil-Spec A-24779(SH). Aluminum anodes are the correct choice for saltwater and brackish water use, where they outperform zinc in electrochemical activity and provide more effective galvanic protection for the drive.
Kit Contents
- 1 anode plate for the top of the ventilation plate

- 18 stainless steel screws for installation

Parts Desk Insights
This kit covers a broad family of Volvo Penta DPS and SX-A drives that share the same primary anode positions — making it a versatile choice for owners of newer Volvo Penta IPS and DPS-equipped vessels. Confirm your specific drive designation against the compatible applications list above before ordering, as Volvo Penta uses several closely related drive codes that can be easy to confuse. Aluminum anodes are the preferred material for saltwater use, providing better galvanic protection than zinc in marine environments. Note that this is a 2-piece kit covering the ventilation plate and gimbal housing positions — your drive may have additional anode positions on the prop hub or drive housing that are not included; verify your drive’s full anode map before ordering. For the older Volvo Penta/OMC SX single-prop drive, see the Seachoice Anode Kit – Volvo Penta/OMC SX Drive, Aluminum. For the DPH/DPR dual-prop drive kit, see the Seachoice Anode Kit – Volvo Penta DPH/DPR, Aluminum.
