How To Fit Shaft AnodesHow To Fit Shaft Anodes

Suitable for vessels with high shaft speeds, heavy-duty zinc shaft anodes contain an insert that helps to provide extra strength. Furthermore, heavy-duty anodes are often larger and thicker than standard shaft anodes, making them hugely popular in offshore or commercial applications where the anodes are subject to heavy usage and in areas with high levels of water salinity and currents - providing extra protection from vibration.

In comparison with aluminium heavy-duty shaft anodes, zinc anodes are heavier but dissolve more evenly and completely. More information on this can be found in our Aluminium Versus Zinc Anodes guide.
