Magnesium Hull Anodes

We stock a leading range of magnesium hull anodes suitable for fresh water, manufactured to US MIL Spec. The hull anodes are available in an array of popular shapes and sizes including pear shape, euro, mini euro, Vetus, Sealine, Fairline and more. 

Unlike aluminium hull anodes and zinc hull anodes, it's highly recommended that you do not use magnesium anodes in salt water, as the alloy reacts far more rapidly when exposed to the water.

Bolt On vs Weld On Magnesium Hull Anodes:

When purchasing a magnesium hull anode, you'll have a choice of two options - bolt on or weld on, but what's most suitable for your requirements?

Magnesium bolt-on hull anodes are a quick and effective way to secure anodes without the need for specialist tools. It's highly recommended you use the best-quality anode fixing bolts if bolting on hull anodes. In comparison, magnesium weld on hull anodes are suitable for vessels where a long life span is required, or where anodes are subjected to significant vibration, agitation, abrasion or other physical impact.
