Transmission Anodes—45IV and 46IV
The transmission anodes are incorporated onto the transmission housing to retard the effects of corrosion. The anodes should
be inspected every year, more often when operating in brackish or saltwater. If the anode is 50% eroded, it must be replaced.
1. Close the seacock if equipped.
2. Remove the anode from the transmission.
