Sacrificial Anodes for Boats - Hull, Propeller, Shaft, Engine & More
Corrosion is a real threat to any boat with metal below the waterline. At Force 4 Chandlery, we offer many types of marine sacrificial anodes. Protect a variety of areas on board from hull and rudder to propeller shaft and engine.
What Are Anodes and Why Are They Important?
Sacrificial anodes protect key metal components on your boat from galvanic corrosion. This is a chemical reaction which occurs when dissimilar metals interact in water.
By corroding in place of your fittings, they extend the life of your boat’s most vulnerable metal parts.
Which Material Do You Need?
Choosing the right material depends on where you use or moor your boat:
- Zinc Anode – Best for saltwater use
- Aluminium Anode – Ideal for salt water or brackish water
- Magnesium Anode – Suitable for freshwater use
Regular inspection and timely replacement are essential. If your anode is more than 50% depleted, it’s time for a new one.
Anodes for Every Application
We offer a broad selection of boat anodes to be used on your hull, shaft, engine, rudder, and propeller. You’ll find options for both inboard and outboard engines, saildrives and more.
