Manufacturer

Camp Zinc

<h3>About Camp Zinc (Camp Company)</h3><p><strong>Camp Zinc</strong>, the consumer-facing brand of Camp Company, is a leading manufacturer of marine anodes. Their zinc and aluminum sacrificial anodes are manufactured in the US to ensure the highest quality of corrosion protection. For boaters, that American-made heritage matters — it means consistent alloy quality, tighter tolerances, and confidence that every anode performs as advertised when your boat hits the water.</p><h3>What Are Sacrificial Anodes and Why Do They Matter?</h3><p>Galvanic corrosion is one of the most damaging and insidious threats to any vessel. Cathodic protection is one of the most effective methods of preventing galvanic corrosion on underwater metal constructions and in heat exchangers, and sacrificial anodes are the main components of this kind of protection — though they have to be replaced regularly for best effect. In simple terms, a sacrificial anode is a less-noble metal (zinc or aluminum) that corrodes in place of your expensive underwater hardware, sparing your propeller shafts, rudders, and drive components from damage.</p><h3>A Full Range of Marine Anode Solutions</h3><p>Camp Company anodes are manufactured for use on recreational, commercial, and military vessels, placed on hulls, propeller shafts, rudders, trim tabs, outboard engines, stern drives, and in the cooling system of most inboard engines to protect metal parts from galvanic corrosion. That breadth of coverage is a hallmark of the brand — whether you run a small outboard skiff or a large commercial workboat, Camp Zinc has a purpose-built anode solution.</p><p>At the heart of Camp Zinc&apos;s lineup are their <a href="/7286-camp-zinc-anode-kits-201633">Anode Kits</a>, which bundle together all the anodes needed to fully protect a specific engine or drive system. Rather than sourcing individual pieces, boaters can grab a kit and know their entire drivetrain is covered. Camp also offers a second, complementary line of <a href="/7286-camp-zinc-anode-kits-200102">Anode Kits</a> tailored to a different range of outboard and sterndrive applications, making it easy to find the right match for your specific make and model.</p><p>For boaters who need ancillary hardware to complete their anode installations, Camp Zinc also supplies <a href="/7286-camp-zinc-tie-strap-and-clip-10142">Tie Straps and Clips</a> — the small but essential fastening components that secure anodes and associated wiring properly to the vessel.</p><h3>MIL-SPEC Standards You Can Trust</h3><p>Camp Company is one of the leading American enterprises specializing in manufacturing aluminum and zinc marine anodes, and the company makes its products compliant with high standards and special military specifications peculiar to this kind of goods. Marine anodes conform to MIL-SPEC standards, including Mil-A-18001 for zinc anodes. These standards ensure that every anode has the proper electrochemical potential to protect your boat&apos;s metal components — no guesswork, no shortcuts.</p><p>Whether you&apos;re maintaining a Yamaha outboard, a Volvo Penta sterndrive, a Mercury drive, or a commercial inboard, Camp Zinc delivers the corrosion protection professionals and passionate boaters alike have depended on for years.</p>

Product Details

The Camp Zinc BP129 is a replacement zinc anode designed specifically for Vetus bow thruster systems. This sacrificial anode provides essential corrosion protection for your bow thruster's tailpiece and prop shaft by absorbing harmful electrolysis in marine environments.

Key Features:

  • Manufactured from high-quality zinc material for saltwater applications
  • Fits Vetus bow thruster models BOW 23A, 50, and 80, plus many stern thruster models
  • Compact dimensions: 1-9/16" x 51/64" (approximately 1.6" x 0.8")
  • Includes mounting screw for easy installation
  • Self-sacrificing design protects expensive bronze components from galvanic corrosion
  • OEM-equivalent replacement anode (Vetus part number SET0153)

Regular anode replacement is critical for maintaining bow thruster longevity. Marine experts recommend inspecting and replacing zinc anodes at least annually, or more frequently in high-current environments. When the anode erodes to approximately 50% of its original size, it should be replaced to ensure continuous protection of the thruster tailpiece and internal prop shaft components.

Easy to use her fast

product was as described and arrived ahead of estimated delivery date

Helmet is as described and fits fine, however, it's so huge I cannot use it in the car as intended. Some reviews call it "Marvin the Martian" looking. This is generous. It's more like Marvin the Martian on steroids. Will need to return and look locally for a helmet.
