MG Duff CM76214 Mercury 76214Q5 / 76214A6 MerCruiser Alpha Bravo Round Plate Anode – Zinc / Aluminium
The MG Duff CM76214Z and CM76214A are circular flat plate sacrificial anodes designed for compatible Mercury outboard and MerCruiser sterndrive installations. Listed drive applications include Alpha One Generation II, Bravo I, Bravo II and Bravo III, with additional Mercury Verado references in the supplied application information.
The anodes are associated with Mercury part numbers 76214Q5 and 76214A6. The zinc version is identified as CM76214Z, while the aluminium version is CM76214A.
Both models have a circular plate configuration measuring 90 mm in length and 90 mm in width. However, their specified depths and weights differ: the zinc anode is 24 mm deep and weighs 0.28 kg, while the aluminium version is 20 mm deep and weighs 0.11 kg.

Important: Although both anodes belong to the CM76214 series, their stated depths are different. Check the original component dimensions and installation clearance before selecting the replacement material.
Mercury and MerCruiser Compatibility
The MG Duff CM76214 series is listed for compatible Mercury outboard and MerCruiser applications, including:
- MerCruiser Alpha One Generation II (Alpha 1 Gen 2)
- MerCruiser Bravo I (Bravo 1)
- MerCruiser Bravo II (Bravo 2)
- MerCruiser Bravo III (Bravo 3)
- Mercury Verado – listed as an additional application reference
Mercury original part references supplied for this anode type are:
- 76214Q5
- 76214A6
The aluminium CM76214A is specifically listed with Mercury part number 76214A6. Compatibility with individual outboard models, drive serial numbers and production years should be checked against the original equipment parts documentation.
Circular Plate Construction and Mounting
The CM76214 series features a circular sacrificial plate body with one central mounting position.
- Plate dimensions: 90 × 90 mm
- Zinc depth: 24 mm
- Aluminium depth: 20 mm
- Fixing holes: 1
- Specified fastening size: 7/16-14 UNC
- Specified bolt length: 1 3/4 inch
The 7/16-14 UNC specification identifies the required fastening thread, while the 1 3/4-inch value identifies the stated bolt length. These should be verified against the existing mounting hardware.
The supplied information specifies a bolt length but does not confirm whether a mounting bolt is included with either anode.
Zinc and Aluminium Sacrificial Corrosion Protection
The MG Duff CM76214 series is available in two sacrificial anode materials:
- Zinc – CM76214Z: Commonly used for galvanic corrosion protection in saltwater marine environments. Specified weight: 0.28 kg.
- Aluminium – CM76214A: Used in suitable saltwater and certain brackish-water corrosion protection systems. Specified weight: 0.11 kg.
When correctly installed with suitable electrical continuity, the sacrificial material corrodes preferentially, helping reduce galvanic corrosion of electrically connected underwater metallic components.
Select the appropriate material according to operating water conditions and Mercury / MerCruiser maintenance recommendations.
Inspection and Replacement
Inspect the circular plate anode periodically during routine outboard or sterndrive maintenance. Replace it when the sacrificial material becomes significantly depleted, physically damaged or no longer securely attached.
Before fitting a replacement, confirm the original part reference, mounting thread, bolt length and available installation clearance. Follow the applicable Mercury or MerCruiser installation instructions.
