VETUS Hull Aluminium Rectangular Hull Anode

For vessels, which mostly cruise on inland (fresh) waters, we recommend aluminium anodes, since aluminium has a greater difference of potential with other metals than zinc. - This is very important, as fresh water provides a higher electrical resistance than salt water. - For sailing on salt water or brackish water, we recommend the use of zinc anodes. - Aluminium anodes also function well in salt water, but are sacrificed at a much faster rate. - There is also a choice of either rectangular or tear-drop shape to perfectly match the flowing lines of the boat. - The material used for VETUS zinc anodes is of the highest U.S. Mil.-A-18001 K. specifications. - VETUS aluminium anodes are made from an aluminium-indium-zinc alloy Mil.-A-24779 (SH). Features: - 27 new anodes - Different streamlined shapes to suit most vessel parts - In case of weld-on anodes: galvanized steel tags allow easy installation
