Hollex Magnesium Weld-On Hull and Rudder Anode – Rectangular, MGF Series
The Hollex Magnesium Weld-On Anode is a rectangular sacrificial anode designed to protect metal components of boat hulls and rudders against corrosion in freshwater environments. The magnesium anode acts as a sacrificial component, corroding preferentially to help protect other metal parts of the vessel.
Designed for welded installation, these anodes are suitable for freshwater applications, including lakes and rivers. The MGF series includes two models with different body dimensions and welding strip lengths, allowing selection according to the required anode size.

Dimensions and Model Selection
The MGF series is available in two sizes. Body dimensions are specified as length × width × height, while the welding strip dimensions are identified separately as Strip L, Strip B and Strip D.
- MGF-1 (5973): Body dimensions of 110 × 60 × 28 mm, with a welding strip measuring 190 × 30 × 5 mm.
- MGF-3 (5970): Body dimensions of 180 × 65 × 30 mm, with a welding strip measuring 300 × 30 × 5 mm.
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.
Magnesium anodes are intended for freshwater applications. Selecting the appropriate anode material depends on the water environment in which the vessel operates:
- Magnesium Anodes: Suitable for freshwater environments, including lakes and rivers.
- Zinc Anodes: Suitable for saltwater environments.
- Aluminium Anodes: Suitable for brackish water environments where freshwater and saltwater mix.
