Anode a pendre
For boating enthusiasts, a hanging anode is essential to ensure optimal protection of your boat against corrosion. Strategically placed, it preserves the durability of the hull by voluntarily undergoing oxidation in its place. This protection is essential to maintain the performance of your boat, whether in fresh, brackish or salt water.
ESSENTIAL PROTECTION FOR YOUR BOAT
boat anodes are essential elements to mount on your boat to protect it against galvanic corrosion. In contact with water, they corrode primarily, thus protecting the structure of your boat. In salt water, zinc anodes, despite their effectiveness, contain cadmium, a toxic metal. On the other hand, aluminum anodes, more environmentally friendly and offering superior protection in brackish water, are increasingly recommended for mixed use.
OPT FOR DURABLE ANODES
It is advisable to check your anodes regularly and replace them every season, or even more frequently in aggressive waters. Aluminum anodes, in addition to being more ecological, have better durability and efficiency, particularly in fresh or brackish water. For exposed areas, such as the keel or the rear of the boat because of the propeller, it is wise to increase the number of protection points with adequate anodes. Aluminum anodes, in addition to their performance, are easily integrated into most configurations, guaranteeing optimal and long-lasting protection.
INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE OF ANODES
The sacrificial anodes must be installed along the keel, with particular attention to the aft area, which undergoes a greater electric field. To maximize their effectiveness, they should never be painted, brushed or greased. Installing anodes on the rudder and propeller shaft is also crucial for complete protection of your boat. is a recognized solution to offer high quality anodes, suitable for all types of water, thus guaranteeing long-lasting protection.
