bedford, correct. i'm not at the boat now, so can't post a pic. most times the pencil anodes are just installed in brass or bronze pipe plugs. i'm pretty familiar with that. the only fitting of any type on the exterior of the heat exchanger (aside from the coolant fill cap) is what looks like a flange nut. it's possible that it's drilled for an anode, but it's also possible it's got a piece of rod on the inside and it's holding the end cap on the heat exchanger. i might just have to take it apart to see what exactly it is.
i was hoping someone on the forum might be running one of these, they were installed in quite a few boats, just not as common as other engines. runs amazing though, very smooth, little to no smoke.
