Corrosion issues

For those worried about corrosion issues see the anode doing its job and the aluminium looking good as @130hrs salt use


Just clean off the anode and good to go

Yeah mine the same at 42hours but little bit worse ..

how you clean the anode?

The sacrificial anodes prevent electrolysis, not corrosion caused by salt water.

I'm not a rocket scientist but not quite right
The anode is part of electrolysis system
It gives up it's electrons as the weaker metal eg the white oxide showing on the anode before the aluminium has to give up any electrons so no it doesn't oxides so no corrosion on the aluminium while the zinc anode is working

Cleaning the anode any way you want I have put a before and after shots
Wire brush File sandpaper
Just get it back to bear metal and your good
Clean area where is sits and tighten up done
Time for beer

Interesting mine are both spotless. 75 hours and 64 hours all saltwater.

that's amazing

Just a thought if both spotless just check there are bolted nice and tight as they need good contact to work

I will check thanks for the info. My pumps and everything else still good no corrosion on anything. I will say this I hose off everything at the boat ramp as soon as I leave the water . Don't know if this helps or not.
