What kind of anodes should I use on a Bravo 3, its fresh water boat.
 
Freshwater=Magnesium
Saltwater=Aluminum
 
Do a google search on B3 anodes. Not the type, but the longevity, especially in saltwater. Need to be replaced far more often than one might think....
 
With twin B3s in fresh water, I use magnesium. I added the prop nut anode alsol Brackish water needs aluminum and salt water needs zinc. My boat is 10 years old and there has been no problem with the drives. The need for replacement will depend on many factors, one of which is the electrical circuits in the marina and another factor is the neighboring boats.
 
I use to have Bravo 3 drives, I use to check anodes half way into season to see if they needed to be changed.
