Performance Metals R6500A 6-1/2" Rudder/Trim Tab Aluminum Anode

The Performance Metals R6500A is a 6-1/2 inch diameter two-piece aluminum sacrificial anode designed specifically for rudders and trim tabs. This pancake-style anode provides critical corrosion protection for marine vessels operating in salt, brackish, or fresh water environments.

Key Features:

• Two-piece aluminum construction with stainless steel hardware included
• Manufactured to military specification MIL-DTL-24779 using Navalloy aluminum alloy
• Stainless steel nuts pressed into casting for secure installation
• Socket cap screw connects both halves together around rudder or trim tab
• Suitable for all water types: salt, brackish, and fresh water
• 6-1/2 inch diameter provides excellent coverage for larger rudders

This anode works as a sacrificial element, corroding in place of your valuable rudder or trim tab components. The Navalloy aluminum alloy meets rigorous military standards for consistent performance and reliable protection against galvanic corrosion. The two-piece design allows for easy installation around existing rudder shafts without removal, with hardware included for immediate use.
