Vetus zinc anodes are designed for use in salty waters to combat corrosion effectively. They provide reliable protection for equipment, preventing corrosion-induced damage. Please note that fasteners must be purchased separately. Cathodic protection with anodes is an absolute necessity to safeguard all metal components submerged underwater. As a result, anodes are essential not only for steel vessels but also for wooden, fiberglass, and aluminum vessels.

Cathodic protection with anodes is an "absolute necessity" to protect all metal parts underwater. Consequently, anodes are required not only for steel vessels, but also for wooden, fiberglass and aluminum vessels. Vetus zinc anodes are manufactured according to the highest standard (US military technical requirements - A - 18001 K). Anodes that do not meet these requirements will have little or no effect). Vetus aluminum anodes consist of aluminum-indium-zinc alloy Mil-A-24779 (SH). All anodes are supplied with pins that can be welded to the steel body, or with special body bolts for fiberglass and wooden vessels. These pins and bolts are ordered separately.
When ordering, it is necessary to clarify the material of the case. All metal parts shall have direct contact with the anode. Therefore, the bolts supplied for example for fiberglass bodies must be connected by a wire so as to be in contact with the metal parts. Only metal parts shall be protected on fiberglass and wooden boats. All Vetus anodes have a protective paint layer on the mounting side to prevent damage to the paint on the housing.
Aluminum anodes are recommended for ships that are used mainly in internal (fresh) waters, since aluminum has a lower electrochemical potential than zinc (the potential difference between aluminum and iron is greater than zinc and iron). This is very important because fresh water has more electrical resistance than salted water. For swimming in salty and slightly salty waters, we recommend using zinc anodes. Aluminum anodes also work well in salty water, but are "eaten" much faster. Magnesium anodes are also not recommended, as the electrochemical potential of magnesium is even smaller than that of aluminum, and its use can lead to damage to the body color.
