Aluminium anodes have several advantages over traditional zinc anodes. The alloy used to make the aluminium anode has a greater negative charge than zinc, as well as a longer service life, which means the anode is more active over a longer period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn total, an aluminium anode produces about 70% more Amp\/Hours over its service life than an equivalent traditional zinc anode. As a bonus, you cut the weight in half and save a little on the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNB:\u003c\/b\u003e There must be no physical connection between aluminium and zinc anodes, as the aluminium anode will protect the zinc anode; therefore, all anodes on, for example, drives and outboard motors must be either aluminium or zinc. Aluminium can be used in both saltwater and brackish water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany manufacturers now use aluminium anodes as standard on their new engines and boats, e.g. Mercruiser, Mercury, Yanmar, Selva, Torqeedo, Princess and Sunseeker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003e6 GOOD REASONS TO CHOOSE ALU ANODES:\u003c\/b\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCADMIUM FREE: Free from cadmium, a heavy metal that is harmful to the environment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLASTS LONGER: 10% longer service life than a zinc anode.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBETTER PROTECTION: Provides better protection than a zinc anode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFOR SALTWATER \u0026amp; BRAKISH WATER: Used in both saltwater and brackish water (zinc anodes are only for saltwater).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLIGHTER: 2.5 times lighter than zinc anodes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eALUMINIUM BOATS: Ideal for protecting boats with aluminium hulls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"1852","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50753812037963,"sku":"1146123","price":38.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0878\/9183\/7259\/files\/1146123_XL.jpg?v=1730742228","url":"https:\/\/www.boatlab.be\/products\/1852-alu-anode-0-87-kg","provider":"BoatLab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
