Vetus BOA023Z Zinc Plane Hull Anode 3.50 kg
The Vetus BOA023Z is a high-capacity plane hull anode developed for reliable cathodic protection of underwater metal components on vessels operating in saltwater and brackish environments. Zinc anodes are recommended for these conditions due to their stable electrochemical behavior and predictable consumption rate. This model is manufactured from high-purity zinc in accordance with MIL-A-18001K specifications, ensuring consistent and effective corrosion protection over extended service intervals.
Zinc anodes provide durable defense against galvanic corrosion on hull plating, shafts, propellers, and other submerged metal parts. While aluminium anodes are more efficient in freshwater, zinc remains the preferred solution for marine and mixed-water operation. The BOA023Z features a robust low-profile plane design and bolt-on mounting, allowing secure installation and straightforward replacement during scheduled maintenance.
