1852, Aluminum shaft anode 82/40 mm 66.52 mm

Description

The aluminum shaft anode is designed for installation on propeller shafts and provides effective protection against corrosion. It is made from an alloy with a greater negative charge than zinc, which gives it a longer service life and more effective protection.

Aluminum anode that can replace traditional zinc anodes. Aluminum anodes have several advantages over traditional zinc anodes. The alloy the aluminum anode is made from has a greater negative charge than zinc, as well as a longer service life, which means the anode is more active over a longer period. In total, an aluminum anode produces approx. 70% more Amp/Hours over its lifetime than a corresponding traditional zinc anode. As an added benefit, you halve the weight and save a little on the price.

NB: There must be no physical connection between aluminum and zinc anodes, as the aluminum anode will protect the zinc anode. Therefore, all anodes on e.g. drives and outboard motors must be either aluminum or zinc. Unlike zinc anodes, which can only be used in saltwater, aluminum can be used in both saltwater and brackish water. Many manufacturers now use aluminum anodes as standard on their new engines & boats, e.g. Mercruiser, Mercury, Yanmar, Selva, Torqeedo, Princess and Sunseeker.

6 GOOD REASONS TO CHOOSE ALUMINUM ANODES:

• Cadmium free: Free from cadmium, a heavy metal that is harmful to the environment
• Lasts longer: 10% longer service life than a zinc anode
• Better protection: Provides better protection than a zinc anode
• For saltwater and brackish water: Used in both saltwater and brackish water (zinc anodes are only for saltwater)
• Lighter: 2.5 times lighter than zinc anodes
• Aluminum boats: Ideal for protecting boats with aluminum hulls
