{"product_id":"mdl-16","title":"Volvo Penta 280\/280SP Zinc Anode Kit VP280KZ","description":"\u003cp\u003eVP280KZ is a zinc anode kit for Volvo Penta 280 and 280SP sterndrive applications. Current reviewed references for equivalent 280 zinc-anode kits identify the core kit contents as a Volvo Penta ring anode in the V-18 pattern plus bar anode 832598, with mounting hardware included. This type of kit is built to provide sacrificial corrosion protection for older Volvo Penta 200\/250\/270\/275\/280-family drives used in saltwater or brackish-water service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZinc anode kit for Volvo Penta 280 \/ 280SP drive applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurrent equivalent-kit references show V-18 style ring anode plus bar anode 832598.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting hardware is included in current reviewed kit references.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned as sacrificial corrosion protection for legacy Aquamatic sterndrives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCurrent reviewed references point to \u003cstrong\u003edrive compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than engine-only fitment. The clearest match is Volvo Penta \u003cstrong\u003e280 and 280SP\u003c\/strong\u003e sterndrives, and the included 832598 bar-anode reference also ties the kit to the broader Volvo Penta \u003cstrong\u003e200–280 drive family\u003c\/strong\u003e. Fitment should still be confirmed by exact drive model and anode layout before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial Number Fitment Notice\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAnode kits can vary by drive generation, housing shape, and mounting pattern. Confirm VP280KZ by the exact sterndrive model and by matching the installed ring-anode and bar-anode arrangement before ordering. For older Volvo Penta drives, this is the cleanest way to avoid ordering the wrong corrosion-protection kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen This Part Needs Replacement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nReplace the kit when the installed anodes show clear material loss, heavy pitting, cracking, loose fitment, or uneven erosion. Sacrificial anodes are intended to wear during service, so regular inspection and timely replacement are part of normal drive-maintenance practice, especially in saltwater use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nInstall on clean metal contact surfaces and use the correct mounting hardware for the drive. Good electrical contact between the anodes and the drive is important for effective corrosion protection, so paint, corrosion buildup, or poor seating should be corrected during installation. Zinc is the reviewed material for this kit style, making it best suited to the water conditions where zinc anodes are appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlternate\/Superseded Part Numbers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCurrent reviewed equivalent-kit references show multiple market identifiers in the same application family, including \u003cstrong\u003e280-Kit-ZN\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eCM280KITZ\u003c\/strong\u003e, and kits built around \u003cstrong\u003eV-18 \/ 875815-3\u003c\/strong\u003e plus \u003cstrong\u003e832598\u003c\/strong\u003e.
