Designed to sacrifice itself in place of your drive’s aluminum and metal components, it provides targeted corrosion protection for the transom plate and drive housing in saltwater and brackish water environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the correct OEM replacement anodic plate for a wide range of Mercury and Mariner outboards from 35–300 HP, Force 90 and 120 HP engines (1995 and newer), and MerCruiser Alpha One Gen II and Bravo I, II, III, X, XR, and XZ sterndrive units. Aluminum construction is the preferred material for saltwater use, offering superior performance over zinc in most marine environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: 76214Q5 (also referenced as 710-97-76214Q 5)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Aluminum — preferred for saltwater and mixed-water environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtects transom plate and drive housing from galvanic corrosion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM Quicksilver specification — direct fit, no modification required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers a broad range of Mercury, Mariner, Force, and MerCruiser applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury\/Mariner outboards: 35–300 HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForce outboards: 90 HP \u0026amp; 120 HP (1995 \u0026amp; newer)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMerCruiser Alpha One Gen II sterndrive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMerCruiser Bravo I, II, III, X, XR \u0026amp; XZ sterndrives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlways verify fitment against your engine serial number and service manual before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBest Use Case\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReplace this anodic plate whenever it has been reduced to approximately 50% of its original size, or at least once per season in saltwater environments. Inspect at every haul-out. Do not paint over the anode — it must remain bare metal to function. This plate protects the transom and drive housing area; other locations on the drive and lower unit require their own dedicated anodes for complete protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eParts Desk Insights\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe anodic plate is one of the most commonly missed anode locations on MerCruiser sterndrive boats — customers often replace the trim tab anode but overlook the transom plate. When a customer is servicing their drive anodes, confirm they’re replacing all locations: transom plate, trim tab, and any drive-specific anodes. Aluminum is correct for saltwater; if a customer asks about zinc, confirm their operating environment first.
