Hollex Zinc Weld-On Hull and Rudder Anode – Rectangular, F Series
The Hollex Zinc Weld-On Anode is a rectangular sacrificial anode designed to protect metal components of boat hulls and rudders against corrosion in saltwater environments. The zinc anode corrodes preferentially, helping to protect other metal parts of the vessel from corrosion damage.
Designed for welded installation, these anodes are suitable for saltwater applications, including ocean environments. The range includes five models with different body dimensions and welding strip lengths, allowing selection according to the required anode size.

Installation and Corrosion Protection
The anode is designed to be welded to the boat’s hull or rudder. It functions as a sacrificial component, corroding instead of other metal parts to help prevent corrosion damage.
Zinc anodes are intended for saltwater applications. The appropriate anode material depends on the water environment in which the vessel operates:
- Magnesium Anodes: Suitable for freshwater environments.
- Zinc Anodes: Suitable for saltwater environments, including ocean waters.
- Aluminium Anodes: Suitable for brackish water environments where freshwater and saltwater mix.
