B & S Anodes BSM12X2X24 Zinc Striker Plate 1/2" x 2" x 24"

The B & S Anodes BSM12X2X24 is a high-quality zinc striker plate designed to provide reliable cathodic protection for marine vessels and underwater metal structures. This sacrificial anode measures 1/2 inch thick by 2 inches wide by 24 inches long, making it ideal for protecting rudders, trim tabs, hull plates, and other critical metal components from galvanic corrosion in saltwater and brackish water environments.

Key Features:

• Premium zinc alloy construction provides excellent sacrificial protection
• Striker plate design offers versatile mounting options for flat surface applications
• Dimensions: 1/2" x 2" x 24" for extended protection coverage
• Suitable for saltwater and brackish water marine environments
• Helps prevent costly corrosion damage to underwater metals
• Can be easily installed with through-bolts or welding

Zinc anodes work by corroding preferentially to protect more valuable metals like bronze, stainless steel, and aluminum. This striker plate configuration is particularly useful for protecting large flat surfaces, keel areas, and running gear. Regular inspection and replacement of sacrificial anodes is essential for maintaining effective corrosion protection and extending the life of your vessel's underwater components.
