Ensure the best cathodic protection for your boat with the Vetus ALU08C Aluminium Hull Anode. This high-quality sacrificial anode is specifically designed for vessels that primarily operate in inland waters (freshwater). Aluminium anodes provide a greater potential difference compared to other metals than zinc, which is essential given the higher electrical resistance of freshwater.
The Vetus Type 8 anode (ALU08C) is ideal for transom mounting and helps protect metal parts below the waterline – on steel, wood, polyester, and aluminium hulls – from corrosion. The anode is made from a quality aluminium-indium-zinc alloy (Mil - A - 24779 (SH)) and is streamlined in shape. A protective paint layer has been applied to the mounting side to prevent damage to your boat's finish.
Main Features:
- Optimal for Freshwater: Aluminium alloy is the best choice for freshwater environments.
- Corrosion Protection: Provides excellent cathodic protection for all underwater metal parts.
- Transom Mounting: Specifically designed as Type 8 for easy mounting on the transom.
- High-Quality Material: Made from durable aluminium-indium-zinc alloy.
- Paint Protection: Equipped with a protective paint layer on the mounting side.
