Vetus BOA005A Bolt-On Aluminium Hull Anode Rectangular 1.52 kg
The Vetus BOA005A is a high-capacity bolt-on aluminium hull anode developed for effective cathodic protection of underwater metal components in freshwater, brackish water, and saltwater environments. Manufactured from aluminium alloy in accordance with MIL-A-24779 (SH) standards, this anode offers high electrochemical efficiency and reliable corrosion prevention for hull structures, rudders, steering systems, and other submerged metal parts.
Aluminium anodes are a lightweight and environmentally considerate alternative to zinc and provide superior performance in brackish water and areas with lower salt concentrations. The BOA005A combines increased mass with a long rectangular profile, ensuring extended service life and wide protection coverage. Bolt-on installation enables secure mounting and straightforward replacement once the anode material has been consumed.
