Would anyone know where these might be obtained? (Magnesium is required as my boat is afloat on freshwater).

I've enquired at quite a number of outlets, including several "official" Honda stockists, but no-one is able to supply.

TIA

Z-Guard say, "Z-guard offers a full range of equivalent zinc and magnesium anodes for Volvo Penta, OMC-Johnson-Evinrude, Mercruiser-Mercury, Mariner-Yamaha, Suzuki, Yanmar, Honda, Bukh, Vetus, Arneson, Hamilton etc"

so try them . I have not checked any others but if they do them maybe others do too.
 
Thanks, VicS.

Alas, Z-Guard were unable to help, but the very nice folks at Mailspeed Marine, Warrington, have managed to source something which might be a pretty near fit:

It seems that Honda don't actually provide a magnesium anode themselves. Quite surprising really, given that lots of BF5s must be in use on freshwater locations all over the globe.

Thanks for the help,

Ron.
