How to Replaced Anodes on a Yamaha Outboard 200 hp Engine and Similar Models

[@PetClipdog]

Congratulations very smart to do that every 100 hours. Thanks, Robalo Cuban from Miami!!!

[@OutOnTheReef]

Awesome Cap. Crooked pilothouse boat from Central Florida. Saludos Miami👋👋

[@PetClipdog]

I 'll see U on the Water. I usually launch my Robalo R222 Cuban Boat at Crandon Park

[@OutOnTheReef]

@@PetClipdog I used a tramp sometimes and yes hopefully see you out there in the water captain

Hi Capt... Nice quick explanation! Yes, agree on how important these anodes are. (sometimes us oldies call them 'zincs', because they used to me made primarily with zinc; now I think they are an aluminum/zinc hybrid/alloy?). I also just ordered the engines 'internal' anodes; in the 300 Yamaha there are eight (yes EIGHT!) of the 'internal' engine anodes, and I've just found out that there are 3 more other than those eight. I think Yamaha is making sure their engines don't corrode and self-destruct like some of the older Yamaha's did! ☺

[@OutOnTheReef]

Yes Andrew Dost internal anodes in my engine I will change him after 200 hours because they don't wear as much as the exterior ones and yes this about eight of them and that will be a job to do it's just time consuming but that one is just as important but I believe it doesn't wear up as much as the exterior one and thanks for your comment Captain have a awesome Sunday

[@Guywithoutahobby]

Thanks Capitan! I didn’t know my outboard had a transom anode, just ordered it!

[@OutOnTheReef]

Awesome it looks like they hide it down there so that way it doesn't look that bad when you look at the outboard but that's a very important one to change I'm glad to help you Captain

[@dougfitz00]

Thank you - same engine - appreciate you

[@OutOnTheReef]

Anytime captain and thanks for watching

[@Reefahholic]

There you go Captain. Keep er in good running condition! Maintenance is key for any boat or trailer. Great video! 💯🇺🇸✅

[@OutOnTheReef]

Yes I agree Captain we have to be on top of these things before they become a problem thank you and have a great weekend

[@oceandeepfishing4555]

Well Capt. Another good tip and money saver to do it yourself. I'm looking forward to seeing your new video on changing the impeller. I will have the same engine you have on my next boat so your how to videos will be a big help.

[@OutOnTheReef]

anytime cap. the 200 hp is a great engine cap i love mine

[@GearAddict]

Nice and simple! just changed the few on my outboard today and on top of performing better from now on, it looks much cleaner, too! Thanks :D

[@OutOnTheReef]

Glad it helped! cap great job making your motor work better 👍

[@daddyjoonb4273]

Thanks for the vid. I’m doing both of my same ones while I doing all the other stuff. Just ordered both the trim tab and lower plate anodes. Word up.

[@OutOnTheReef]

Glad I could help cap. this anodes extend the life of your motor👍

[@bobjoncas2814]

..great maintenance tip, good one,..keep safe skipper..

[@OutOnTheReef]

Thanks Bob and have a awesome Sunday cap 👍

[@jb9090]

Did Yamaha discontinue the "fin" type prop anode for the F200XA? The OEM replacement doesn't have the fin anymore!

[@OutOnTheReef]

@jb9090 not sure but now I have a new 225 hp yamaha and it doesn't have the fin anode cap, they said on that engine is not nesesary

[@gogata4539]

Another good vid. Thank you. Managed to break 2 bolt heads. Now ready to bolt back the transom anode BUT wondering if I can/should replace the bolts w/ SS studs and nuts? 2:50

[@OutOnTheReef]

Thank you cap and as far as the bolts go i would use what Yamaha recommends And use some anti siege on the boat That will help you take him out on the next time captain thanks for watching

[@TheJpterpening]

Thanks for the video. What size socket do you need to remove the nut for the trim tab anode?

[@OutOnTheReef]

You need an extension with a half an inch socket. Hope this works and thank you for watching

[@captainrick9379]

Great Info As always!

[@OutOnTheReef]

Thank you Captain Rick

[@Will-ol9lp]

Nice job captain. I bet the person who gave u a dislike this video is a marine mechanic lol.

[@OutOnTheReef]

lol yes im taking business away from him lol

[@germansaenzfuentes]

Capitán, There other anodes on the engine head. When are you changing those. They are critical too....great videos Captain 👩‍✈️

[@OutOnTheReef]

Yes worldwide those I will change it to hundred hours and there's about eight of them in the engine

[@germansaenzfuentes]

Out On The Reef waiting for the video thanks

[@oceandeepfishing4555]

Also on your live feed I asked about one day maybe we could meet and follow you over to the Bahamas. I didn't want to go as a group setting. Just having a buddy boat for our first crossing. We will register as our own crossing for customs.

[@OutOnTheReef]

yes i agree cap it is safer to make that crossing with a buddy boat, now the bahamas may be closed till next year

[@oceandeepfishing4555]

@@OutOnTheReef that's when we're thinking of going. But I would like to go when lobster season is open.

[@OutOnTheReef]

@@oceandeepfishing4555 next year lobster season opens till March But you should have Captain when I make my plans I leave the last minute so I cannot make plans with all the boulders due to weather and job allows me

[@flyingdutchman2195]

Hi, what year and model is your 200? I have a 2018 2.8L 4 cylinder model so was checking the part numbers for the anodes. Thanks!

[@OutOnTheReef]

Hello my motor is 2017 Model I think your engine is same as mine captain

[@oscarmoreno1119]

Hey Cap, Does the engine have any internal anodes?

[@OutOnTheReef]

yes it does several and i will make a video soon on how to replace them👍👍

[@oscarmoreno1119]

Thank you Cap!

[@julietramp8837]

What size socket does it use?

[@OutOnTheReef]

I'm sorry captain that suck it I don't remember

[@adAlqubaisi]

Hi Captain i think there some anodes inside the engine need to be changed somewhere near the spark plugs . have nice day stay safe

[@OutOnTheReef]

yes there are about 8 of them and i will change them at 200 hrs thanks for the heads up cap.

[@pescaepicard9925]

Esas piezas absorben la mayor parte de salinidad que se pueda aderir al motor verdad ?? Saludos Capi 👍🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴😟😟

[@ainadysene5029]

los anodes absorven la electrostatica para q no dane otro metal importante

[@OutOnTheReef]

asi es Ainady y saludso

[@frankortiz6375]

exelent video please record the internal to ,i have a 05 225 and i only found 4 internal hope there only 4 in mine

[@OutOnTheReef]

i will cap. and there is about 8 internal, soon i will try to change mine ,and soon i will show you how to replaced the impeller cap.

[@MrThoLuu]

Would someone help me with the size of hex key to open the trim tap zinc? I used 8mm hex key and it was a bit small, the next size in the hex key chart is 10mm and that would be too big. I bought a used boat and do not know if the installed zinc is OEM or aftermarket.

[@OutOnTheReef]

Captain I have 2 different sets of Allen keys And they are very similar you just have to buy both to make sure wish one fits

[@craigcantler5636]

Can you share part numbers for both and where you purchased

[@OutOnTheReef]

Yes I place a link in the description below of both of the anodes Hope it helps

How often do you have to replace the internal engine anodes?

[@OutOnTheReef]

it do sent say but i will do mine at 200 hrs

[@carypeaden4147]

What about the 4 anodes on your engine block?

[@OutOnTheReef]

I will do a video on those coming up soon captain

[@carypeaden4147]

@@OutOnTheReef I am trying to figure out how to replace the 4 engine anodes on my 1998 Yamaha 2 stroke outboard. My anodes are not covered by any video and they are different than the anodes that are covered.

capitan esos ánodos están nuevo comparado con los mío que yo lo que tengo son 82 horas y los míos están bastante gastados

[@DeepBlueChannelCom]

y que paso con lo de el motor o la Yamaha no tiene en la parte del motor. /////por que los Suzuki tienen 7 por motor y total como 13

Out On The Reef cuando llegue a las 100 se lo cambio. yo puse los motores el año pasado en agisto 21 me faltan 18 dias para que cumpla el año

[@alanbrough671]

Capt, you should always use an anti seize compound on the bolts

[@OutOnTheReef]

I always do but in this case I'm going to change it in another hundred hours so I didn't think it was needed but yes you're right whatever is on the water anti seize will help a lot

[@darinkg]

Actually a drop of threadlocker is a good idea.

[@antho7475]

​@@darinkg Marine grease or anti seize, but no thread locker on aluminum. Especially fine thread . those bolts only thread in about 1/4inch

What size bolt

Sorry cap i dont recall the size

It could’ve been great you say what sucker size to use thou…

Good to go, I never wait that long to change them, they are cheap and keep salt away from everyrhing there. If it sais 100 I do 80. Keep on riding cap. 👌👌👌👌👌👌

Good tip! cap. better to be safe👍😉

[@2fast4you25]

@@OutOnTheReef hey its like oil, I do change it a lot sooner that anything the product will say. They always want to be the best and longer lasting product, I never belive in that. Its always better to change it an be safe berore having to buy a new one or rebuild. And always keep a tap on viscosity. People put oil and forget about it till its time to change, never bother to check and see how the oil is holding up. Big mistake. 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

Don't forget there are internal anodes in your engine as well

yes cap. thank you those are about 8 of them and i will do those at 200 hrs

[@kennykannar8971]

What is the importance of this?

[@OutOnTheReef]

It's a softer metal so it helps on corrosion on the engine is very important for your engine to last longer , that's why it's called a sacrificial sink the sacrifice itself for the motor

[@kennykannar8971]

Out On The Reef oh ok. Thank you for the response!

[@OutOnTheReef]

@@kennykannar8971 anytime Kenny

[@legion95928]

@@OutOnTheReef Yes Sir!!-- its Zinc-- which corrodes instead of the metal of your prop-- which creates static electricity and thusly turning the (sea) water very acidic. The rectangle one near the engine mount - corrodes from the static electricity created by the two different "metals" of the engine and the mount on the boat via vibration and water flow. Swimming pool motors usually require a "Sacrificial Anode" as well ( in the form of a Zinc ball that is placed in the leaf basket in front of the impeller. -- and If I'm guessing who you are-- well-- you sound a lot like 3-time Indy 500 winner Helio Castroneves!

Obviously outboard engines are far easier to maintain.

[@OutOnTheReef]

yes i agree cap.

[@hookednrolling2009]

Yes as long as you regularly service the engine wait to long and it becomes a problem with corrosion. I use mercury marines 2 4 c grease it’s water proof grease won’t wash out like regular grease my neighbor showed it to me 40 yrs ago but don’t use it on your zinks you want to keep the connection clean between the zinks and motor mounting holes you can buy a grease gun that uses the 8 oz squeeze tube works great on grease fittings aka zerk fittings tilt tube fittings and cowlings fittings and pivot tube fittings thanks JT 🇺🇸🇺🇸🌴🐟🎣🛥🌴⛱😊😊🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
