Shaft Zinc Anode 45mm, narrow model

Shaft anode for propeller shaft

A zinc anode suitable for the propeller shaft, which protects the boat's iron and other metal parts from corrosion. The anode acts as a sacrificial shield and effectively prevents corrosion damage to the boat's underwater metal parts.

Corrosion occurs electrochemically when different metals are in contact with each other and water acts as a conductor. In such a combination of metals, the baser metal always corrodes first. Zinc is a baser metal compared to, for example, iron, stainless steel, copper and brass, which is why it protects more valuable metal parts.

Intended use

• Propeller shaft corrosion protection

• Protection of underwater metal parts of a boat

• Especially suitable for salt water

Installation instructions

• The anode is installed below the waterline

• Attach a shaft support as close as possible to the propeller shaft.

• Installed longitudinally in connection with the metal parts to be protected

• The zinc anode must not be painted with boat primer.

Maintenance and inspection

• Zinc anodes should be checked every time the boat is lifted.

• The anode must be replaced without fail if it is clearly worn.

• A worn anode no longer provides sufficient protection

A properly installed and regularly replaced shaft anode extends the life of the propeller shaft and other metal parts and helps prevent costly corrosion damage.
