Aluminum anodes are designed for brackish or salt water environments, where they corrode in place of more expensive engine and drive components, extending the service life of the powerhead, gearcase, and other submerged metal parts. As the anode sacrifices itself to electrolysis, it should be inspected regularly and replaced once it has worn down significantly, since a depleted anode can no longer protect the surrounding metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis anode is a direct cross-reference replacement for several Mercury OEM part numbers, so it installs in place of the original equipment anode without modification. It is designed to fit Mercury 200, 225, and 250 HP outboards, the V-155-V-200 engine range, and all Bravo sterndrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-6016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Water Environment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brackish or salt water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.67 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 inch L x 1 inch W x 1 inch H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 030999320254\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Cross Reference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 76214, 97-76214Q5, 97-762145, 76214A5, 786214A2, 762142, 762142A1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury 200, 225, 250 HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eV-155-V-200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll Bravo sterndrives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e76214\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e97-76214Q5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e97-762145\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e76214A5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e786214A2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e762142\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e762142A1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Sierra 18-6016 anode made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-6016 is an aluminum anode, which is recommended for brackish water or salt water environments rather than fresh water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this anode work in fresh water?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The 18-6016 is an aluminum anode intended for brackish or salt water use;
