This Tecnoseal aluminum anode weighing 0.85 kg is a sacrificial anode for the protection of metal parts below the waterline, where the anode corrodes instead of the boat's structural components.
The aluminum alloy has a greater negative charge than zinc and is more active over a longer period. An aluminum anode produces approximately 70% more amp/hours in its lifespan than a corresponding traditional zinc anode.
The anode can be used in saltwater and brackish water and is suitable for boats with aluminum hulls or aluminum underwater components. There must be no physical connection between aluminum and zinc anodes, as all anodes on, for example, sterndrives and outboard motors should be either aluminum or zinc.
