ANODE KIT
Volvo Penta Aluminum Anode.
Suitable for: Salt water and Brackish water.
Genuine Volvo Penta anodes are made to sacrifice themselves to protect your drive and propeller against galvanic corrosion. Volvo Penta now recommends the use of aluminum anodes in salt and brackish water instead of the previously recommended zinc anodes for salt water. In the near future, Volvo Penta will gradually phase out most zinc anodes and replace them with aluminum anodes.
The advantages of aluminum anodes are: 30% higher corrosion protection capacity, 20-40% longer life than zinc anodes, less toxic, better choice also for brackish water.
