For a Mercruiser Bravo III.

MARTYR or Quicksilver, what is the difference?
Does Mercury even sell replacement anode kits? All I seem to find online are these two brands.

Found a good deal on a Quicksilver kit and was wondering what everyone is using before I purchase.

Quicksilver is Mercury. Thats their aftermarket/parts side.

Don't forget, freshwater boating requires Magnesium anodes, zinc is for salt water use and they go for less than half the cost of the Magnesium anodes so these might be what your thinking are a very good deal!

Price is good, even for non-member. Add shipping too I suspect.

I always bought mine here.

Free shipping over $100, but the zincs are not quite that expensive.

Is there an easy DIY test to see if a used boat has zinc or magnesium anodes?
