Corrosion Protection

MerCruiser power packages are equipped with anodes, to help protect them from galvanic
corrosion under moderate conditions. However, for severe conditions, or if using a stainless
steel propeller, it is recommended that a Quicksilver Anti-Corrosion Anode Kit and/or a Mer-
Cathode System be installed (some models have a MerCathode System as standard equip-
ment). A MerCathode Monitor also is available to allow the operator to check the operation
of the MerCathode System with the push of a button. (Refer to "Quicksilver Accessories
Guide" for part numbers.)
Boats which are connected to AC shore power, require additional protection to prevent de-
structive low voltage galvanic currents from passing through the shore power ground wire.
A Quicksilver Galvanic Isolator can be installed to block the passage of these currents while
still providing a path to ground for dangerous fault (shock) currents. (Refer to "Quicksilver
Accessories Guide" for part number.)
IMPORTANT: If AC shore power is not isolated from boat ground, the MerCathode
System and anodes may be unable to handle the increased galvanic corrosion poten-
tial.
