This product is an aluminium hull anodes in Type 35.
This is recommended for vessels use that mostly cruise on inland (fresh) waters.
For vessels, which mostly cruise on inland (fresh) waters, it is recommended to use aluminium anodes, since aluminium has a greater difference of potential with other metals than zinc.
This is very important, as fresh water provides a higher electrical resistance than salt water.
For sailing on salt water or brackish water, it is recommended the use of zinc anodes.
Aluminium anodes also function well in salt water, but are sacrificed at a much faster rate.
It is NOT recommended to use magnesium anodes, as the difference of potential with other metals is too great, which could cause damage to the hull paint, especially when sailing in brackish or salt waters.
Protection by means of anodes is a ”must” for all metal parts under water.
Therefore, anodes are required for wooden, fibre glass and aluminium hulls.
The material of V-Quipment zinc anodes is of the highest possible standard, the U.S. mil.-A-18001 K. specifications.
Anodes which do not meet these specifications have little or no effect.
V-Quipment aluminium anodes consist of an aluminium-indium-zinc alloy Mil – A – 24779 (SH).
All V-Quipment anodes are streamlined and mounted either with studs which can be welded to a steel hull, or with through-hull bolts for fibreglass and wooden boats.
Please note that the studs and bolts are sold separately.

For further guidance, kindly refer to the table below to find the right anode suitable for the type of water in which the boat is generally used. It is important to do an annual inspection of the anode as it should be replaced when the anode has been 50% sacrified.
