What
is a MerCathode and what does it do ?
The MerCathode system provides
automatic protection against galvanic corrosion. It is a solid-state device that
operates off a boat's 12-volt battery and provides protection by impressing a
reverse blocking current that stops the destructive flow of galvanic currents.
If your power package does not come already equipped with a MerCathode system,
Mercury strongly recommends that you install one, particularly if your boat is
equipped with a stainless steel propeller or other submerged stainless steel
hardware.

Gimbal
Housing Mounted Kit
This kit mounts
to the trim hose manifold block located on the bottom of the gimbal housing
where 4 hydraulic hoses come out which go to the trim cylinders. It is

This Mercathode
kit will not fit boats which do not have 2 threaded holes in the center of he
hydraulic trim hose manifold ( shown below ) for this to bolt to.
Sorry,
there are no returns on electrical items.

The 2 arrows ( in
the photo shown ) point to 2 holes which are for bolting a Gimbal Housing
Mounted Mercathode Electrode to. If no Mercathode system or zinc anode is being used, the 2
bolts, gasket and block off plate are used.
If you have a
boat made before 1984 and wish to use this system, you will have to replace your
existing manifold block with the one shown here and you will have to order (2)
adaptors to reduce the thread size on the back of this manifold shown. Older
boats have a smaller thread size on the (2) lines going from the pump to the
back of this block.
