How Do Ship Anodes Work?
Ship anodes are vital components of a boat’s maintenance system, playing a central role in protecting its hull and underwater components from corrosion. Ship anodes act as sacrificial devices, meaning they corrode instead of the more important metal parts of the boat. This process, known as cathodic protection, prevents the corrosion of the boat’s hull, […]
Boat Anode Replacement: When And Why It’s Necessary
Marine environments relentlessly attack underwater metal parts on boats and docks, causing ongoing corrosion. Dissimilar metals submerged in saltwater produce an electrical current that gradually damages one of the materials, leading to costly repairs if not addressed. Understanding the science behind this process helps boat and dock owners protect their valuable investments effectively. Ignoring the […]
