Camp Zinc Rudder Anode Anodes/Zincs

Camp Zinc rudder anodes are sacrificial zinc anodes (also called rudder zincs) that protect the rudder and nearby submerged metal parts on your boat from galvanic corrosion. Zinc is more electrochemically active than the metals it protects, such as bronze, stainless steel and aluminum. In the water, the anode corrodes first, so the rudder and its hardware last longer.

Key Features:

• Sacrificial corrosion protection: The zinc corrodes in place of the rudder and fittings it protects.
• Made for rudders: The anode style is designed to mount on a boat's rudder.
• Marine zinc construction: Zinc suits the galvanic protection needs of boats used in salt water and brackish water.
• Easy to inspect and replace: Check the anode regularly. Replace it when it has wasted away, so protection never lapses.

Fresh rudder anodes are a low-cost way to protect your underwater metals during seasonal maintenance. Replace them as part of a regular haul-out or inspection routine to keep your rudder protected against corrosion.
