Tecnoseal Z406 Zinc Hull Plate Anode - 8.5in

The Tecnoseal zinc sacrificial anode product is built to help protect compatible underwater metal components from galvanic corrosion. Sacrificial anodes corrode preferentially so more valuable drive, hull, and underwater hardware is less likely to become the primary metal consumed by electrochemical activity.

This version uses zinc alloy and is identified for 8.5in. Correct anode material and fitment matter because protection depends on electrical contact with the metal being protected, adequate exposed anode surface, and an alloy suited to the vessel’s operating water and installed metals.

Inspect sacrificial anodes regularly and replace them before they are heavily depleted. Mounting surfaces should provide clean metal-to-metal electrical contact, and anodes should not be painted or coated over. Confirm the exact engine, drive, hull, or mounting application before installation because visually similar anodes may use different dimensions or attachment patterns.

• The replaceable alloy is built to corrode preferentially and help protect more expensive underwater metals.
• Routine inspection and timely replacement maintain usable sacrificial material in the system.
• Correct installation against clean metal allows the anode to function as part of the protected metal system.
• Selecting the correct anode material helps provide appropriate protection for the vessel’s operating environment.
