Seakeeper Ride Zinc Anode Kit
Seakeeper Ride Zinc Anode Kit — Product description
The Seakeeper Ride Zinc Anode Kit is genuine sacrificial anode hardware for your transom-mounted Ride controllers. The zincs corrode first, on purpose, so galvanic corrosion stays off the underwater metal that keeps your boat riding flat. Part number 12833SP, made for the Ride system.
Seakeeper Ride keeps your boat's running attitude flat and steady, but the controllers that do that work sit right on the transom, down in the water where galvanic corrosion goes hunting for bare metal. That's what this zinc anode kit is for. The zincs are sacrificial. They corrode first, on purpose, so the metal you actually care about stays protected.
Think of it as routine upkeep, the same as swapping the zincs on your shaft or trim tabs. Over a season in saltwater a zinc gives itself up bit by bit, and once it's more than about half gone, it's time for fresh ones. Pull the boat, check the anodes, and if they're chalky and shrunken, this kit gets you back to full protection.
It's genuine Seakeeper hardware, part number 12833SP, so it fits the Ride system the way the factory intended. Zinc is the right pick for boats that live in saltwater.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Seakeeper Ride Zinc Anode Kit protect?
It protects the underwater metal on your Seakeeper Ride transom controllers. The zinc anodes are sacrificial, so they corrode first and keep galvanic corrosion away from the parts that matter.
How often should I replace the anodes?
There's no fixed schedule, but a good rule of thumb is to check them whenever the boat's hauled and swap them once they're about half consumed. In active saltwater service that's often once a season.
Is zinc the right anode for my boat?
Zinc is the standard choice for boats kept in saltwater. If you run in fresh or brackish water, a different anode alloy may suit you better, so match the metal to where you keep the boat.
Will this fit my Seakeeper Ride system?
Yes. This is genuine Seakeeper part 12833SP, made for the Ride controllers, so it fits without any modification.
