Nicely done Drew !! Awesome pace for explaining these jobs :) . Just done the same job on my F50 , but lost 3 of the anode tips in to the cooling passage :( as they broke just as you showed. Any issue with cooling on yours since you lost one into there ?
I love your video's Drew keep up the great work. I've followed all your F50 video's and everything has gone smoothly, even the water pump was a piece of cake with your help. I'm going to do the anodes next. I assume these anodes go in to the water jacket to stop the salt water in the cooling system corroding things. So if they break off inside how and where do they come out of the engine? Not much can pass through the telltale even sand can block it, so obviously anode fragments would be bad. Or do they go in to the exhaust chamber?
Hello, I have a problem. I started to change the anodes of my yamaha F60 four stroke 2005 engine and of the 5 4 they broke, removing them from how bad they were and the part of the anode that goes into the engine the pieces remained inside and I have no way to remove them since They fell inside and cannot be seen. What I can do ? It's no problem that they stay inside, does it affect the engine?
A quick hit with a shop vac will help remove the broken off anodes and some of the debris left inside. just hold it right over the hole for a few seconds.
Thanks for your video, i saw your outboard was some many grease on it, it that okay? I have my old 2 stroke 115 also dirty as your video outboard, and someone told me just leave it will be ok
+Jerry Chan Oh yes okay. This is a corrosion spray I apply. It is a "wax" type of brown look, it is not oil or grease. It helps to stop rust from the saltwater spray we get here in Florida.
Thanks. Just got a new to me 60hp Yamaha with only 322hrs but 16yrs old. Just checked the anodes and all is well. Great video. Keep up the good work.
What did yours look like when you took them out?
Bless you guys who go through all this trouble to help other people... thank you!
Thank you very much Drew, for all your self maintenace videos, it has learned me a lot how to maintain, my 50 HP Yamaha (2003) engine.
+Edwin van der Voort Thanks!
Thank you Drew. I'm going to change anodes for the 1st time and your video is full of little tips and tricks that will make the job easy.
+Steve Hudson Thx for watching!
Very informative... Great video!

Haywoodjablomie100 The exhaust chamber is what they told me they exit through... And Thank You!

Leave them, it is ok. They will flush out later.

Gr8 tutorial brother.

Hi drew. Awesome videos, heaps of helpful advice. Just wondering how your motor is still going after the anode snapped off in the block?
+Andrew Brooks Running great!
Are these internal annodes on a Mercury Optimax? I was unaware
Not sure, I am not a Mercury guy
What is that hose you have in that water plug?
I do not remember...Sorry
Love this video mate thanks for the effort
Glad you enjoyed it
Muy Interesante, Saludos
Hi Drew.
How has your experience been with this Outboard?
How long had the anodes been in before you changed them?
Love it! I have never had any issues with the 4 stroke Yamaha's. About 6 to 7 years change them.
Thanks mate, looking forward to getting mine :-)

+Jerry Chan Not sure what you mean?
Drew Cavanaugh theres brown and oil on the engine just cover on the power head is that okay?
+Jerry Chan Oh yes okay. This is a corrosion spray I apply. It is a "wax" type of brown look, it is not oil or grease. It helps to stop rust from the saltwater spray we get here in Florida.

Adding a little grease to the grommet makes it go in easier.
I was recently flushing my Yamaha and saw that water was leaking from that top anode? any ideas what that could be? I have the parts to replace it.
Gasket most likely. Time to replace your anodes.
"Hand specification". As an engineer, you're giving me nightmares.
that word you were looking for to describe the rubber Gromit would be beveled. just saying :)
Grease the grommets
Tapered is the word for the rounded end of the grommet.
That is it! Thx
Will this work on f40f, 4stroke w
2011. Eu model is f40 fetl
Most all engine shave the anodes. Depends on models where they are located at.
Zimkanode
I was think thinking beveled!
Stuart Kidder I almost wanted to say "domed".
