Anode keeps falling off
 
I keep losing my anode located just under my skeg on my yamaha 4 stroke. This will be the 3rd anode I buy so far this year. I noticed about 3 weeks ago that the anode was missing so I bought another one and installed it. I made sure to it was fairly tight but I didn't want to strip it so I didn't over torque it. When I lauched my boat this weekend I noticed the one I just installed was missing. I'm losing the anodes when I trailer my boat to the launch on the bumpy roads. Is there some trick to keep these things on? Would lock-tite work?

Lock tite works.

Da blue loc tite, removable. Red loc tite is a thread locker!

Get a lock washer, preferably a stainless, the size of your anode bolt, willhave no more problems, did it to my 25 merc, been good ever since.
