Alu shaft anodes for mounting on propeller shafts. Available in several sizes.

Aluminium anode that can replace traditional zinc anodes. Aluminium anodes have some advantages over traditional zinc anodes. The alloy used to make the aluminium anode has a more negative charge than zinc, as well as a longer service life, which means the anode is more active over a longer period. Overall, an aluminium anode produces about 70% more amp-hours over its lifetime than an equivalent traditional zinc anode. As a side benefit, you cut the weight in half and save a little on price.

NB: There must not be any physical connection between aluminium and zinc anodes, as the aluminium anode will protect the zinc anode. Therefore, all anodes on, for example, drives and outboard motors must be either aluminium or zinc. Unlike zinc anodes, which can only be used in saltwater, aluminium can be used in both saltwater and brackish water. Many manufacturers now use aluminium anodes as standard on their new engines & boats, for example Mercruiser, Mercury, Yanmar, Selva, Torqeedo, Princess and Sunseeker.

6 GOOD REASONS TO CHOOSE ALUMINIUM ANODES:

• Cadmium-free: Without cadmium, a heavy metal that is harmful to the environment
• Last 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
• Aluminium boats: Ideal for protecting boats with aluminium hulls
