Vetus BOA005Z Bolt-On Zinc Hull Anode Rectangular 3.40 kg
The Vetus BOA005Z is a high-capacity bolt-on zinc hull anode developed for demanding marine applications in saltwater and brackish environments. Manufactured from high-purity zinc in accordance with MIL-A-18001K standards, this anode provides durable and reliable cathodic protection for hull structures, keels, stern tubes, shafts, and other heavily exposed underwater metal components.
Zinc anodes are the preferred solution for saltwater operation due to their stability and controlled consumption rate. The BOA005Z combines a large mass with an extended rectangular profile, ensuring wide protection coverage and long service intervals. The integrated steel strap allows secure bolt-on installation and straightforward replacement once the anode material has been consumed.
