Inboard motor anode

To protect your boat from the damaging effects of corrosion, boat motor anodes are essential. These sacrificial devices oxidize in place of your boat's metal parts, preserving the integrity of the hull, subframes and outboard motors. The use of these anodes is particularly crucial to safe boating.

EFFICIENCY OF BOAT ANODES

Boat anodes come in a variety of compositions, adapted to different marine environments. Zinc anodes are commonly used in salt and brackish waters, while magnesium anodes are preferable in freshwater. For boat owners navigating in mixed waters, aluminum anodes offer optimum protection. Not only are they more effective and longer-lasting, they are also more environmentally friendly, as they contain no cadmium, a heavy, toxic metal. Anodes must be changed regularly, especially in aggressive marine environments, to maintain their effectiveness.

OPTIMAL ANODE INSTALLATION

For maximum protection, we recommend installing several anodes along the keel and near the propeller, where the electric field is strongest. Additional anodes can be placed on the rudder and propeller shaft to ensure complete coverage. Particular attention must be paid to their placement, especially for anode bateau aluminium in brackish or mixed waters. Furthermore, it's crucial never to paint, brush or grease anodes, as this compromises their operation.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT ANODES

To guarantee your boat's longevity, it's important to choose the right anodes for your sailing conditions.
