Specifications (In the text):
The Vetus ZINKAS20 Zinc Anode is specifically designed for a propeller shaft diameter of 20mm. This anode is the right choice for vessels in marine or brackish environments. Regularly check the condition of the anode; the rule of thumb is to replace the anode once approximately half has been eroded. The lifespan can vary depending on the degree of voltage difference in the water.
Important Note:
For faster vessels, it is sometimes recommended to use propeller nut washers with integrated zinc anodes (if available for your shaft size) to minimize the chance of turbulence and imbalance caused by a shaft anode as it erodes. Always consult a professional if in doubt. Order the Vetus ZINKAS20 today and ensure the best protection for your propeller shaft!
