Ok lets ask you two questions.

Narrowboat anodes. An ingot of sacrificial metal attached to the underwater hull of a canal boat which corrodes due to electrolysis more readily than the hull and propeller. Aluminium anodes are good all rounders and are happy in salt or brackish water. Stray current corrosion is different in that it is caused by electricity from an outside source flowing into the boats metal components and out through the water for a ground.

Along with the usual configuration of two and the bow and stern we recommend sacrificial anodes to be welded onto the baseplate every 8-10 foot apart. It needs new anodes and its hull blacking so i rang around for several quotes from hanbury wharf JL Pinders and so on and the best one I found was. This is the light at the front of your canal boat mostly used to see when navigating through tunnels.

Anodes are manufactured in zinc aluminium or magnesium. By definition an anode is an ingot of sacrificial metal attached to the underwater hull of a narrowboat or canal boat which corrodes due to electrolysis more readily than the hull and propeller. Narrowboat Anodes Direct.

What sort of anode do I need for a canal boat. Its sole purpose is to degrade and rust away over time. We are also a Beta Marine Parts and Service dealer.

They aim to stop the formation of rust on your boats hull and need to be changed every few years. Magnesium anodes are used for boats in fresh water. Whilton would charge you from 750 for a narrowboat up to 50 foot.

We now have three metals connected together in the water. Magnesium anodes are used for boats in fresh water. For narrow boat owners wide beams and other steel hulled canal boats magnesium is the preferred material.
