Re: Anode placement

OK, I've just bought the boat and the survey mentions the lack of an anode. It also mentions some very slight pitting on the prop which could be related. I also have the previous 2001 survey, however, which mention the same points, so I assume that there can not have been that much erosion if the pitting was slight in 2001 and is still slight now.

However, since the boat is out of the water, and the anodes are not overly expensive, I thought why not just do it?

Thanks for your point about the gap though, I guess that rules out a shaft anode anyway.

I'll have a look at the link, but I'm guessing now I'll need to fit one elsewhere.
