Re: Hull Anodes

I pulled the anodes I put on last year, and the backs look like a white crystalline material has grown. I've been in brackish water on the ICW, so prob aluminum chloride. Can't be good for conduction, but Capac still read OK. Thinking about putting SST washers on, so drill holes dont erode and hurt ...

Re: Hull Anodes

Busia,

Have always bought from boatzincs. Good folks.

Seems thick washers on the outside of anodes would keep them on longer as they erode.putting washers between anode & hull seems like a very bad idea.

Thanks again!

Hull Anodes

Just having bottom job, starting with sandblasting to bare aluminum. Is it best to apply anodes when the hull is bare, before any paint is applied? If so, what protects the hull surface under the anodes? Is it just natural Al oxidation? What keeps the hull from pitting under the anodes, esp in salt ...
