## 🔌 Function

Corrodes in place of the drive's alloy castings, taking the galvanic attack that seawater would otherwise direct at the housings.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Anode eaten away, pitted or reduced to a fraction of its original bulk
-   White or grey powdery bloom over the anode and the castings around it
-   Anode still looking new after a season, which means it is not earthing and is protecting nothing
-   Fresh corrosion or paint blistering on the drive housing itself
-   Anode loose, or its fastener wasted away

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Renew at roughly half consumed rather than waiting for it to disappear
-   Never paint or grease an anode, and clean the mounting face back to bare metal so it makes electrical contact
-   If your records quote 24050632, 21174473 or 23025859, this is the current number for all three
