Lewmar 589150 Propeller Anode Kit for 140 TT Bow Thruster

The Lewmar 589150 Propeller Anode Kit is a replacement zinc anode kit for the Lewmar 140 TT bow thruster. Sacrificial anodes protect the thruster's propeller and surrounding metal components from galvanic corrosion caused by electrolysis in the water, extending the service life of the drive unit. As the anode corrodes in place of the propeller and housing metal, it needs periodic replacement to keep the thruster protected, making this kit a routine maintenance item for boat owners running a Lewmar 140 TT thruster.

This kit is listed under Lewmar's Zincs & Anodes category and is sized specifically for the 140 TT bow thruster propeller assembly. Installing a genuine Lewmar anode kit ensures correct fit and proper sacrificial protection compared to generic zinc substitutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Lewmar 589150 anode kit used for? The Lewmar 589150 is a sacrificial propeller anode kit for the Lewmar 140 TT bow thruster, designed to protect the propeller and nearby metal components from galvanic corrosion.

Which bow thruster does part number 589150 fit? Part number 589150 is sized for the Lewmar 140 TT bow thruster.

How often should the 589150 anode be replaced? The anode should be inspected regularly and replaced once it has visibly corroded, since a depleted anode can no longer protect the 140 TT thruster's propeller and metal parts from electrolysis.

How much does the Lewmar 589150 anode kit weigh? The Lewmar 589150 propeller anode kit weighs 0.19 pounds.

Is the 589150 anode kit a genuine Lewmar part? Yes, 589150 is Lewmar's own manufacturer part number for this propeller anode kit, not a third-party equivalent.

What category does this product fall under? The 589150 kit is listed in the Zincs & Anodes category, reflecting its role as a sacrificial corrosion-protection component.

Does replacing the anode require removing the propeller? The kit is a propeller anode replacement for the Lewmar 140 TT, and installation involves accessing the propeller assembly where the anode is fitted.

Can I use a generic zinc anode instead of the Lewmar 589150? For a confirmed fit on the 140 TT bow thruster, the Lewmar 589150 is the manufacturer-specified anode kit for that application.

What is the UPC for the Lewmar 589150 anode kit? The UPC for the Lewmar 589150 propeller anode kit is 743683011009.

Why does a bow thruster need a sacrificial anode? A sacrificial anode like the 589150 corrodes in place of the propeller and thruster metal, preventing galvanic corrosion from damaging the more expensive drive components on the 140 TT.
