MG Duff Volvo Penta S Drive / SX Drive Gimbal Plate Anode

MG Duff CM3854130Z / CM3854130A Volvo Penta S Drive / SX Drive Gimbal Plate Anode – Zinc / Aluminium

The MG Duff CM3854130Z and CM3854130A are sacrificial gimbal plate anodes designed for compatible Volvo Penta S Drive and SX Drive marine propulsion installations. These replacement anodes help protect electrically connected underwater metallic components against galvanic corrosion.

The series is available in two materials: zinc (CM3854130Z) and aluminium (CM3854130A). Both variants are identified for the specified Volvo Penta gimbal plate application and are sold individually.

When correctly installed with suitable electrical continuity, the sacrificial material corrodes preferentially, helping reduce galvanic corrosion of the protected drive components.

Technical Specifications

Available Variants

Volvo Penta Drive Compatibility

The MG Duff CM3854130 series is listed for compatible Volvo Penta marine propulsion equipment identified by the following drive references:

• Volvo Penta S Drive
• Volvo Penta SX Drive

The anodes are intended for the corresponding gimbal plate mounting application.

The supplied information does not specify individual drive variants, serial number ranges, production years or confirmed Volvo Penta original equipment part numbers.

Before ordering, verify the existing anode configuration and consult the relevant Volvo Penta parts documentation to confirm compatibility.

Gimbal Plate Anode Construction

The CM3854130 series is identified as a gimbal plate sacrificial anode intended for the corresponding mounting position on compatible Volvo Penta drives.

The product information confirms the anode type, available materials and drive references. Overall dimensions, weight, mounting-hole spacing and fastening specifications have not been provided.

Compare the original anode's physical shape, mounting arrangement and attachment points with the replacement component before installation.

Zinc and Aluminium Sacrificial Corrosion Protection

Two sacrificial anode materials are available:

• Zinc – CM3854130Z: Commonly used in saltwater marine galvanic corrosion protection systems.
• Aluminium – CM3854130A: Used in suitable marine corrosion protection systems, including saltwater and certain brackish-water environments.

When correctly installed with suitable electrical continuity to the metallic components requiring protection, the sacrificial anode material corrodes preferentially, helping reduce galvanic corrosion of electrically connected underwater parts.

Select the material according to the operating water conditions and the recommendations of Volvo Penta for the specific propulsion system.

Inspection and Replacement

Inspect the gimbal plate anode periodically as part of routine marine propulsion system maintenance. Replace it when the sacrificial material becomes significantly depleted, physically damaged or no longer securely attached.

Before fitting a replacement, inspect the mounting surfaces, check the electrical contact points and confirm the correct anode configuration for the drive.
