Vetus BOA004Z Bolt-On Zinc Hull Anode Rectangular 1.94 kg
The Vetus BOA004Z is a heavy-duty bolt-on zinc hull anode engineered for reliable cathodic protection of underwater metal components in saltwater and brackish environments. Manufactured from high-purity zinc in accordance with MIL-A-18001K standards, this anode provides long-lasting protection against galvanic corrosion on hull structures, keels, stern tubes, shafts, and other exposed metal parts.
Zinc anodes are the preferred solution for saltwater operation, where they offer optimal durability and corrosion prevention. The BOA004Z features increased mass and a wide rectangular profile, allowing greater surface coverage and extended service intervals in high-exposure areas. The integrated steel strap enables secure bolt-on installation and simplifies replacement when the anode material has been consumed.
