As current flows through submerged metal parts, this anode corrodes preferentially, sacrificing itself so that the more expensive engine and drive metal components are not eaten away over time. Regular anode replacement is one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to protect a marine drivetrain from corrosion damage, and the 18-6244 is sized as a direct fit for the applications it covers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis anode is engineered for Mercury outboards rated 200, 225, and 250 horsepower, the V-155-V-200 engine family, and all Bravo sterndrives. It is a compact part, measuring 0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 inches and weighing 0.17 pounds, and it cross-references directly to the OEM 76214 series of Mercury anode part numbers, so it installs as a drop-in replacement using existing mounting hardware and locations.\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 18-6244\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mercury Outboard Anode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.17 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 808282103620\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mercury 200, 225, 250HP;
