Shop Performance Metals, anodes that protect your boat from corrosion. Performance Metals zinc, aluminum, and magnesium sacrificial anodes guard your engine, drive, shaft, and running gear from galvanic corrosion, the small parts that protect the expensive metal on your boat.
Galvanic corrosion silently eats the underwater metal on a boat, and sacrificial anodes are the defense, with Performance Metals a respected maker. An anode is a piece of less-noble metal that corrodes in place of your engine, drive, shaft, propeller, and running gear, sacrificing itself to protect those expensive components. Performance Metals makes zinc, aluminum, and magnesium anodes in the shapes and fittings for outboards, sterndrives, shafts, hulls, and more, often with a built-in indicator that shows when an anode needs replacing. By keeping your anodes fresh, you keep your boat's metal protected. For boaters, the right anodes are cheap insurance against costly corrosion damage.
Choosing the right anode comes down to material and fit, and your water. Use zinc for salt water, aluminum for salt or brackish water and many newer applications, and magnesium for fresh water, since the wrong material for your water reduces protection. Match the anode shape and size to the specific part it protects, your engine, drive, shaft, or hull, since they are part-specific. Replace anodes when about half consumed. Review the product details and your water type before buying. With Performance Metals anodes, you protect your boat's metal from corrosion.
A sacrificial anode is a piece of less-noble metal that corrodes in place of your engine, drive, shaft, and running gear, sacrificing itself to protect those expensive components from galvanic corrosion. Replacing worn anodes keeps your boat's metal protected.
Use zinc for salt water, aluminum for salt or brackish water and many newer applications, and magnesium for fresh water. Using the wrong material for your water reduces protection, so match the anode material to where you boat.
Replace anodes when about half consumed, since a heavily worn anode no longer provides full protection. Some Performance Metals anodes have an indicator that shows when to replace. Inspect them regularly and match the new anode's shape and size to the part it protects.
