Tecnoseal Honda Zinc Anode Set BF 40-50

Zinc anode for protecting metal parts of a boat

A zinc anode protects the iron and other metal parts of a boat from corrosion. The anode is installed below the waterline in the areas that you want to protect. It acts as a sacrificial metal and prevents damage to more valuable parts.

Corrosion occurs electrochemically when different metals are in contact with each other in water. The metals then form an electrical pair, with the baser metal corroding first. Zinc is a baser metal than iron, stainless steel, copper and brass, so it corrodes instead of them.

Operation and installation

• Installed below the waterline

• Attached longitudinally to the metal parts to be protected

• Do not paint with boat primer

Maintenance and inspection

• To be checked every time the boat is lifted

• Replace immediately if the anode is clearly worn.

A zinc anode is an essential part of boat maintenance and helps to significantly extend the life of metal parts.
