The 43994 Mercury / Mercruiser block is made of magnesium.
The listing you linked to on eBay says that the anode is made of magnesium. However, there is also a zinc version of the anode available, which is 43994Z. The zinc version of the anode is less effective in freshwater, but it will need to be replaced less often than the magnesium version.
The best material for an anode will depend on the type of water in which your boat is operated. If you boat in saltwater, a zinc anode is the best option. If you boat in freshwater, a magnesium anode may be a better choice.
Here is a table that summarizes the pros and cons of zinc and magnesium anodes:
Material | Pros | Cons |
---|---|---|
Zinc | More effective at protecting underwater metal parts from corrosion | Less active, so it will corrode more slowly |
Magnesium | More active, so it will corrode more quickly | More effective in freshwater |
Ultimately, the best way to choose an anode for your boat is to consult with a marine professional. They will be able to help you choose the right anode for your specific needs.
