Specifications

Material
Magnesium

This Martyr anode is the Merc/MCM New Generation type, sold under part number Cm762145M. The listed material is magnesium. Martyr's notes link each metal to a kind of water: magnesium for fresh water, aluminum for salt and brackish water, and zinc for salt water. That makes the metal of this one the first thing to check.

Our take

The Cm762145M is magnesium, and the maker links magnesium to fresh water, with zinc for salt water. Look at the water your boat sits in before you choose this anode over a zinc one.
