Anodes are essential equipment for protecting metal boat components underwater. They prevent corrosion on the engine, shaft, and rudder system, making them a key component of boat maintenance. In the awn online shop, you'll find suitable anodes for freshwater, saltwater, or brackish water – tailored to your area of ​​operation.

  • Function and importance of anodes

    Anodes prevent electrolytic corrosion, which is caused by electrical currents in the water and can even attack stainless steel. Sacrificial anodes specifically take over the decomposition process to protect important metal components such as propellers or shaft systems. Regular inspection and timely replacement are crucial for effective protection.

  • Correctly assess size and wear

    It's not the size, but the condition that matters: An anode should be replaced when approximately 75% of its material has been used up. Clean metallic contact with the surface to be protected is also important – anodes must never be painted over.

  • The right anode for every body of water

    Different materials are used depending on the type of water: zinc for saltwater, magnesium for freshwater, and aluminum for brackish water. If the anode still shines after a long time, it may be incorrectly positioned or unsuitable—a clear indication of inadequate protection.

  • Care instructions

    Make sure to check anodes regularly, even after periods of downtime or dry periods, and replace them if necessary to avoid long-term damage.
