bravo 3 anodes
 
Anti-seize on the stainless hardware for aluminum anodes or dry?

I've never used anti seize on any of the anodes I've changed out, never had any issues, tho I never tried to remove them either

I never changed them on my trailered 223 either, but the new one has twin bravos and is staying moored. I broke most of the small bolts on the trim cylinder zincs, but it was an easy fix after the zincs were out of the way. Was just wondering about the antiseize. anybody?????

Of course the sacrificial anodes (whatever they're made of) only function if there's a perfect bond between them and what they're bolted to . Therefore if any anti seize were to be used it would have to not interfere in any way with that bond .
If you can find one that meets the criteria why not use it ?

I replaced all of mine on our Bravo 3 - with Magnesium - we are only in fresh water -- NO seize protection used. I believe you want to have 100% metal to metal contact.
