The Vetus SET0152 zinc anode is an essential spare part for the optimal protection of your Vetus bow thruster in salt or brackish water. This sacrificial anode made of high-quality zinc is specifically designed to protect the expensive metal components of your bow thruster – particularly the drive unit and the propeller shaft – from harmful electrolytic corrosion (galvanic corrosion).
By inspecting and replacing the anode at least once a year, you ensure the lifespan and reliability of your maneuvering system. Zinc is the ideal material for marine applications in salt water, as it "sacrifices" itself to spare the nobler metals of your bow thruster.
