EMP Aluminum Anode Kit 93-04311 Sacrificial Corrosion Protection
EMP Aluminum Anode Kit 93-04311 Sacrificial Corrosion Protection
The EMP Aluminum Anode Kit (93-04311) is a sacrificial anode kit designed to protect submerged marine metal components from galvanic corrosion. Aluminum anodes are commonly used in brackish and salt water environments, where they corrode preferentially in place of engine, drive, and hull hardware, extending the service life of those more expensive components. As the anode material wears away over time, it should be inspected periodically and replaced once significantly depleted to maintain continuous corrosion protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the EMP Aluminum Anode Kit 93-04311 used for? The EMP Aluminum Anode Kit (93-04311) is a sacrificial anode kit that protects submerged marine metal parts from galvanic corrosion by corroding in their place.
Is this anode kit made of aluminum or zinc? Part number 93-04311 is an aluminum anode kit, which is a common choice for boats operated in brackish or salt water.
How much does the EMP 93-04311 anode kit weigh? This kit weighs 2.4 pounds.
How do I know when to replace the anodes in this kit? Sacrificial anodes like those in the EMP 93-04311 kit should be inspected periodically and replaced once they are significantly worn down, since a depleted anode can no longer protect nearby metal components.
What is the UPC for the EMP Aluminum Anode Kit 93-04311? The UPC for this kit is 840080478180.
Is the EMP 93-04311 an OEM or aftermarket part? The 93-04311 is sold under the EMP brand as its own manufacturer part number.
Does aluminum or zinc corrode faster as a sacrificial anode? Aluminum anodes, such as the EMP 93-04311 kit, are generally chosen for their suitability in salt and brackish water, while zinc is more commonly used in salt water applications specifically; the correct anode material depends on the water conditions the boat operates in.
What does an anode kit protect against? An anode kit like the EMP 93-04311 protects submerged metal engine and hardware components from galvanic corrosion by sacrificing itself instead.
