Why is the Vetus ZINK02C important?
In the marine environment, due to the presence of salt water, electric currents are generated that affect metal. This process, known as galvanic corrosion, can cause irreparable damage to the bow thruster. The Vetus ZINK02C zinc anode acts as a sacrificial anode, meaning that the zinc material corrodes faster than the metals of the bow thruster. This way, the anode is 'sacrificed' and the critical parts of the bow thruster remain intact. Regular inspection and timely replacement of the anode is essential for the long lifespan of your bow thruster.
