Vetus BOA007Z Bolt-On Zinc Hull Anode Rectangular 10.40 kg
The Vetus BOA007Z is the highest-capacity zinc hull anode in the Vetus series, developed for extreme marine environments and heavy-duty applications. Manufactured from high-purity zinc in accordance with MIL-A-18001K specifications, this anode delivers maximum 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 stable electrochemical behavior and controlled consumption rate. The BOA007Z combines very large mass with an extended rectangular profile, ensuring wide protection coverage and exceptionally long service intervals. The integrated steel strap allows weld-on installation or custom drilling, making this anode suitable for non-standard and high-load mounting locations on large vessels and offshore structures.
