Description
Features:
- Material: Aluminum halves and stainless steel hardware
- Nuts are pressed into casting
- Performance Metals Navalloy® aluminum anodes are manufactured to the military specification MIL-DTL 24779
- Navalloy is a high performance alloy that contains aluminum, 5% zinc and traces of indium, which ensures that it stays active
- Suitable for use in all water types: salt, brackish, fresh
- Anode includes the exclusive, patented "Red Spot" wear indicator
Performance Metals Premium Line of anodes include the patented "Red Dot" wear indicator, an embedded plastic indicator that appears on surface as the anode corrodes. This indicates that it's time to change the anode and eliminates guessing about when to replace. Performance Metals Premium Line of anodes were the winner of the MAATS Innovation Award 2004.
Navalloy Features:
- Navalloy is more active than zinc so it gives better protection
- Lasts up to 30% longer than zinc anodes
- Self-clean in freshwater
- Zinc anodes form a coating that stops them working within a few months
- Navalloy anodes are essential for Mercury sterndrives
- Zinc will not provide the correct protection
- Navalloy anodes are recommended for both salt and freshwater on Mercury sterndrives
- Environmentally friendly
- Reactivate after exposure to the atmosphere
- You should not mix different types of anodes on the same bonding system
- Do not use magnesium anodes in salt or brackish water - they will over-protect aluminum outdrives or hulls
