What kind of anode?

[josh1981]

What kind of anode's should I buy to replace the current one's (Zinc or aluminum) I bought the boat this last summer and they still look fine but thought I would get a replacement set anyways since I do not know how long they have been on there.

I use the boat in both freshwater and saltwater. Probably spend more time in the saltwater but do spend plenty of time in freshwater also. Thanks for the help

Might help if you mention what kind of drive you have.

As Alpheus said, 95' maxum with a mercruiser 5.0 and an alpha one outdrive.

I don't go searching for info. If it's not visable, I ask for it.
Anyway, here is 3 Merc service bulletins that explain the Aluminum anodes you need, and perhaps you also have the Mercathode system on your boat.
