Vetus BOA006A Bolt-On Aluminium Hull Anode Rectangular 2.40 kg
The Vetus BOA006A is a high-capacity aluminium hull anode developed for effective cathodic protection of underwater metal components in freshwater, brackish water, and saltwater environments. Manufactured in accordance with MIL-A-24779 (SH) standards, this aluminium anode provides 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 offer superior performance in brackish water and areas with lower salt concentrations. The BOA006A features an extended rectangular profile and increased mass, enabling wide protection coverage and long service intervals. It is suitable for bolt-on installation and can also be adapted for custom drilling or weld-on applications where required.
