i need to have the anode changed on my Volvo Saildrive 120s - Any recomendations ?

have a go at Doing It Yourself quite an easy job with a puller you may be luck not to need one. or you could try gosport boat yard... where is you boat at the moment ? someone here might even do it for u ! what sort of prop 2 / 3 blade fixed or folding.

Shes in Hornet, i may give a go myself first - just looked through old posts and it seems pretty easy.
Thanks

if it's a standard fixed prop with an end cone. undo the cap head screw in the middle then put a bar through the end cap and unscrew the cone. prop will either fall off or may need some gentle tapping with a mallet. if it won't budge you will need a puller. anode is held in place by two X-head screw.

don't forget to use lock tight or similar when you put it back together.

If she's ashore at Hornet, why not pop into the JSASTC lads. They might be able to advise/help?

Hi, if you are doing it yourself, and you get stuck, or for more general engineering support, try Malcolm Morling, based in Haslar marina. +447900692345. I used to have my boat there and he is very helpful.

Good luck

Tom

If you've still got the engine manual it tells you how to do it in there. It really is an easy job, even I can do it!

Would also second Malcolm Morling if you do have problems - extremely helpful and generous with his assistance and advise.

Cheers
