It mounts to the bottom of the power trim pump assembly and is pre-drilled with attaching hardware included for a straightforward installation. Aluminum alloy construction makes this anode effective in both salt and fresh water environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatible Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury outboard motors with power trim pump assemblies using 818298Q1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMariner outboard motors with power trim pump assemblies using 818298Q1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounts to the bottom of the power trim pump assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSalt water and fresh water use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eConfirm fitment against your engine model and serial number before ordering.

The most common issue is customers discovering significant corrosion on the trim pump housing after the anode has been fully depleted without being noticed. Checking this anode at every service is a simple step that protects a component that’s expensive to replace. Aluminum is the right alloy here for both salt and fresh water use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LNS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51250732892196,"sku":"710-97-818298Q1","price":43.56,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/a29614a8ed26ea75d2fc93bc4a54860daac0085b494ba3dacfc129206f7b2ae4_111667f5-a6e2-479d-bf96-01e89d9623e5.webp?v=1787342130","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/quicksilver-818298q1-aluminum-anode-for-mercury-and-mariner-power-trim-pump-assembly-710-97-818298q1","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
