This is a Quicksilver anode kit made of cast aluminum for Volvo DPS/SX-A sterndrives. It comes with all the anodes needed plus stainless hardware and installation instructions, and each anode is made to swap out with common tools. The maker claims 50% less weight and up to 50% longer life than zinc. Its job is to guard the drive against galvanic corrosion, and it can be used in fresh or saltwater.
Our take
Cast aluminum, with the maker's claim of up to 50% longer life than zinc, is the feature here. For a drive that sits in salt water, longer life means fewer anode changes, and the hardware comes in the kit so each change needs only common tools.
