Yamaha 90HP Anodes

[Troutinator]

Just need some quick help, It seems that the anode on the lower unit is loose on my Yamaha 90 HP two stroke. There is a nut under a cover that goes through the lower unit. should this be tight? and if so is there a certain direction it should be? I would think same as the skeg.

Any suggestions...
Thanks.

On my 40 yammy, there is a bolt under a black cover that screws into the anode "I think a 12mm" it should be tight and if the anode has 3 or 4 years on it, it should be replaced

PS: Clockwise to tighten
