chicken-shit DIDN'T replace the Bolt (that came with the kit, the thread-lock bolt at 0:45 second mark) with the new anode plate (1:40 mark). Why? Because the lame designers of this outdirve don't know how to add a cavity in the out drive for the bolt & socket to allow you to slide the bolt up, out of the outdrive. In order to prevent the bolt from coming loose from the socket and fall horizontally back into the lower unit. REQUIRING you to REMOVE the lower unit to retrieve the fallen bolt. Wish I would've had the option to purchase a Yamaha than a crappy mercury that came with the boat from the dealer... Wait till you have to remove the #4 Spark Plug and try .... yes TRY to shoot fogging oil into that cylinder cavity.
that model has no more anodes in the motor block?
There are no sacrificial anodes on the engine block that require routine maintenance on the Mercury 150hp FourStroke.
