Camp Zinc

<h3>About Camp Zinc (Camp Company)</h3><p><a href="/7286-camp-zinc">Camp Zinc</a>, operating under the banner of Camp Company, is <strong>one of the leading American manufacturers of marine sacrificial anodes</strong>. Based in St. Petersburg, Florida, the company has built a well-earned reputation among recreational boaters, commercial mariners, and military vessel operators alike. Their zinc and aluminum anodes are proudly manufactured in the United States, held to some of the most rigorous quality standards in the industry.</p><h3>The Science Behind Sacrificial Anodes</h3><p>Every boat with underwater metal components is vulnerable to galvanic corrosion — a natural electrochemical process that can silently eat away at propeller shafts, rudders, hull fittings, and engine drives. The solution is cathodic protection: attaching a sacrificial anode made from a more reactive metal (zinc or aluminum) that corrodes in place of the more valuable components it protects. Camp Zinc has specialized in this science, producing anodes engineered to sacrifice themselves so your boat's critical hardware doesn't have to.</p><p>Camp's <a href="/7286-camp-zinc-anodeszincs-200103">zinc and aluminum anodes</a> conform to U.S. Military Specifications (MIL-SPEC), ensuring the alloy composition is precise enough to provide reliable, consistent protection — not all anodes on the market can make that claim. Their product range spans virtually every application on a vessel, from hull plates and shaft collars to trim tabs, rudders, saildrive units, and engine cooling systems.</p><h3>A Comprehensive Product Lineup</h3><p>What sets Camp Zinc apart is the sheer breadth of their catalog. Whether you're protecting a small outboard on a weekend fishing boat or maintaining a large commercial or military vessel, there's a Camp anode engineered for the job. The company produces anodes compatible with major marine engine and drive manufacturers, including Mercury, Yamaha, Volvo Penta, Suzuki, OMC, and many others.</p><p>For boaters who prefer a one-stop solution, Camp offers convenient <a href="/7286-camp-zinc-anode-kits-200102">anode kits</a> that bundle all the necessary anodes for specific engine or drive systems — taking the guesswork out of corrosion protection. Their coverage also extends to modern propulsion systems: Camp produces dedicated anodes for <a href="/201066-thrusters-camp-zinc-7286">bow thrusters</a> from popular brands like Vetus, Side Power, and QL, which are often overlooked but just as susceptible to galvanic attack as any other underwater component.</p><p>Even <a href="/7286-camp-zinc-propeller-parts-accessories-200817">propeller hardware and accessories</a> benefit from Camp's expertise, with propeller-specific zinc anodes and anode-equipped propeller nuts designed to shield prop shafts and blade carriers from corrosion while maintaining smooth performance.</p><h3>Why Boaters Trust Camp Zinc</h3><p>Camp Company's commitment to American manufacturing and MIL-SPEC compliance gives boaters confidence that every anode they install will perform as intended. Regular replacement of worn anodes — typically when about half the material has corroded away — is one of the most cost-effective forms of preventive marine maintenance, and Camp makes it easy with a comprehensive, well-organized product line to fit nearly any vessel configuration.</p>

Product Details

The Camp Zinc 17264 is a high-quality zinc trim tab anode designed to protect Mercury, Mariner, and Force outboard engines from the damaging effects of galvanic corrosion in saltwater and brackish water environments. This sacrificial anode attaches to the trim tab of your outboard motor, where it corrodes preferentially to protect more valuable metal components of your engine.

Key Features:

  • Zinc alloy construction ideal for saltwater and brackish water applications
  • 4-inch base diameter provides optimal surface area for corrosion protection
  • Meets military specifications: Mil-Spec A-18001K, Mil-Spec A-18001A, and Mil-Spec A-18001
  • Direct replacement for Mercury OEM part number 17264
  • Easy to inspect and replace as part of routine maintenance

Compatibility:

  • Mercury/Mariner 50, 55, and 60 HP outboards (1996 and newer)
  • Force 70 and 75 HP outboards

Important Installation Note: Always check propeller clearance after installing new trim tab anodes to ensure proper fitment and avoid interference with propeller rotation. Mounting hardware (M10 x 30mm bolt) sold separately.

Regular inspection and replacement of sacrificial anodes is critical for protecting your outboard motor investment. Replace anodes when they have eroded to approximately 50% of their original size to maintain optimal corrosion protection.

I had never heard of Autoplicity until I started shopping for an exhaust. I didn't think I was going to find the one I wanted at a decent price. Not only did they have my exhaust at a screaming deal, they had it to my door in perfect shape in 6 days including the evening of purchase and a weekend. I'll definitely look at buying from them again.

More than I wanted to spend on a cargo carrier, and I'm worried it won't fit my vehicle. Hoping for the best!

Great place to buy automotive stuff. Good customer service and has good automotive products.

Very smooth transaction. Extremely fast shipment. I highly recommend this merchant!

easy to find site

Product was as described, shipping was fast, and communication was excellent. Plus I saved $$. Thanks Autoplicity! I'll be a repeat buyer and referral source.

Pretty simple so far

Best price online for the programmer I ordered. Fast and reasonable shipping costs.

very easy website to navigate and place an order

Had what was looking for at good price. First purchase from autoplicity so somewhat unsure about company but will soon find out if reputable or no?

best price around and quick order placement

easy to order and fast response on shipping.
