ANODE OF THE WEEK 60

on the market. Missing shortly in August and at the expected summer break, this Anode of the Week is therefore the penultimate one and will once again deal with a very common marine engine: the Suzuki outboard 200-250 HP.

Before starting, however, I remind you that if you look for a list of all the articles released up to now, you can find it in this convenient index.

The Suzuki Motor Corporation, known more simply as Suzuki, is another Japanese company founded in 1909 in the Shizuoka Prefecture. It owes its name and logo to its founder, Michio Suzuki, of which the current President, Osamu Suzuki, is the fourth adopted child, following a Japanese tradition for which a descendant of a family is chosen based on his abilities in managing business (see Mukoyoshi). The Suzuki engines are used in many different fields such as cars, motorcycles and marine engines, but above all these last two are the most successful sectors for the brand.

As for the nautical sector, Suzuki specializes in outboard engines. In 2003 he presented the first 4-stroke V6 engines which brought enormous technological innovation to the world of marine propulsion. Since then, innovation has become the trademark of Suzuki marine engines, the element for which it differs from the competition. Technology and design have allowed Suzuki outboards to win eight awards given by the NMMA, the leading American association of boat builders. They have recently presented a new series of engines featuring the lean burn, an electrical control system that allows reducing engine consumption without affecting performance and will also be less harmful to the environment.

The anode kit for Suzuki 200-250 hp is a simple and very versatile kit, which can actually be used also for the maintenance of many other models on the market. As always, however, before acting it is a good idea to seek advice from someone who is expert to avoid putting your boat at risk. It includes three small block anodes for the engine (Cod.Tec.01204) and a stern bracket anode (Cod.Tec.01214). Of the latter we had already spoken in a very old article (the Anode of the Week 04), but this was really very short and you can consider what is written today as a kind of "expansion" of the same.

A note that we feel we can do, taking just for example a bad habit of those who use the suzuki engines of this category, is that concerning the need to change ALWAYS the anodes present in the kit, even if these appear to be little damaged. As already mentioned in this Tecnoseal Answers and in the first The Technician Answers, the partial replacement of the anodes is a VERY RISKY practice. So even if by eye it seems that only two small block anodes out of three have been corroded, you should change them all anyway and, perhaps, ask for an expert's advice to understand why there was this inconstant corrosion. Considering that the quality/quantity/price ratio of a kit is very good, there is really no reason to risk it.

The Suzuki outboard engines between 200-250 hp are really very common, because of their merits, and for this reason the Tecnoseal kits are always available in all three alloys: aluminum (recommended), zinc and magnesium. The individual anodes that make up the kit can still be purchased separately and are present in the Tecnoseal catalog also as a single product. However, it should be kept in mind what was said above, pay attention to partial replacement because they can cost much, much more than just a complete kit.

For more specific details you can refer to pages 267, 271 and 272 of our catalog.
