Sierra Zinc Anode 18-6068, Replaces Mercury 826134, for Mercury/Mariner 30-300 HP and Force 90/120 HP Outboards

The Sierra 18-6068 is a zinc anode built to protect Mercury and Mariner outboard powerheads and drive components from galvanic corrosion caused by electrolysis in fresh and salt water. Zinc anodes work by sacrificing themselves to corrosion before it can attack the more expensive metal parts of the outboard, so replacing a worn anode on schedule is one of the simplest ways to protect an engine's long-term value. This anode is manufactured with a machined finish for accurate, secure fitment against the mounting surface it replaces.

The 18-6068 is a direct-fit replacement for the Mercury 826134 series of anodes and cross-references to the equivalent Chrysler/Force/US Marine, GLM, and Honda part numbers, so it can be used as a like-for-like swap regardless of which of those OEM numbers is stamped on the original part. It fits Mercury/Mariner outboards from 30 hp up to 300 hp, and also fits Force outboards in the 90 hp and 120 hp range built in 1995 and newer. As with all Sierra parts, it is designed to meet or exceed the performance of the original equipment anode it replaces, and is backed by Sierra's customer satisfaction warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

What outboards does the Sierra 18-6068 anode fit? The Sierra 18-6068 fits Mercury and Mariner outboards from 30 hp up to 300 hp, and it also fits Force outboards in the 90 hp and 120 hp range built in 1995 and newer.

Is the 18-6068 a direct replacement for a Mercury 826134 anode? Yes, the Sierra 18-6068 is a direct-fit replacement for Mercury part number 826134 and the related 826134A1 and 97-826134Q numbers.

What material is the 18-6068 anode made from? It is made from zinc, which sacrifices itself to galvanic corrosion so the outboard's metal components are protected.

Does the 18-6068 anode cross-reference to Honda or GLM part numbers? Yes, the 18-6068 is equivalent to GLM 12675 and Honda 41109-ZW1-003, in addition to the Mercury and Chrysler/Force/US Marine 826134 numbers.

How much does the Sierra 18-6068 anode weigh? It weighs 0.52 pounds.

What are the dimensions of the 18-6068 anode? The anode measures 0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 inches.

Will the 18-6068 fit a Force 90 hp outboard? Yes, the 18-6068 fits Force 90 hp and 120 hp outboards built in 1995 and newer.

How is the 18-6068 finished? The 18-6068 anode has a machined finish for a precise, secure fit against the mounting surface.

Is the Sierra 18-6068 covered under warranty? Yes, the 18-6068 is covered under Sierra's customer satisfaction warranty like all Sierra parts.

How often should the 18-6068 anode be replaced? A zinc anode like the 18-6068 should be replaced once it has visibly worn down or corroded away, since it protects the outboard by corroding in place of the metal parts.

Does the 18-6068 meet original equipment standards? The 18-6068 is designed to meet or exceed the performance of the original equipment Mercury 826134 anode it replaces.
