Product Details

The Caldwell Casting R5000A is a 5-inch rudder and trim tab anode designed to provide galvanic corrosion protection for marine vessels. This sacrificial anode is engineered to protect critical underwater metal components including rudders, trim tabs, and steering gear from the damaging effects of electrolysis in saltwater and brackish water environments.

Key Features:

  • 5-inch length designed specifically for rudder and trim tab applications
  • Sacrificial zinc construction protects more noble metals like bronze, stainless steel, and aluminum
  • Helps prevent costly corrosion damage to steering components and underwater hardware
  • Direct replacement anode for Performance Metals marine protection systems
  • Easy installation with standard mounting configuration

Regular inspection and replacement of sacrificial anodes is essential for maintaining effective corrosion protection. Replace anodes when they have deteriorated to approximately 50% of their original size to ensure continuous protection of your vessel's underwater metals.

Great transaction process

Only place I found that had the product I needed. Extremely satisfied!

Satisfying!

Not too bad. Shipping prices are ridiculous. I added an item that takes up little to no space nor weight and it doubled the price. I also couldn't use my amazon gift card when using Amazon payments. I realize this is an amazon dumbness, but if retailers start complaining to Amazon then it might help get it fixed.

We ordered the 63 Quart ARB Fridge Freezer and we are very pleased with Autoplicity. The order process on the website was quick and easy. The item was shipped out the next day and we received it within one week. This particular item has been difficult to find and we were very pleased with Autoplicity's pricing and shipping. Thank you for the great service!
