24050636 ACP-kit, Active Corrosion Protection for fiberglass hulls IPS 20,30 triple/quadruple | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta Active Corrosion Protection kit for a triple or quadruple IPS 20 or IPS 30 installation, EVC 2.0. Volvo Penta's ACP (Active Corrosion Protection) system is an advanced, fully integrated solution designed to safeguard sterndrives and IPS pods from galvanic corrosion, significantly reducing maintenance and enhancing boating convenience. The system uses impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP): it constantly monitors the electrical potential and carefully adjusts the output to the transom unit in relation to this.

🔌 Function

Part of the pod's corrosion protection: the active system replaces the standard transom mounted sacrificial anodes on IPS, and the anode carries the protection whenever the system is not driving current.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Anode wasted down well before the next haul-out
• Anode almost unmarked, which points to a bad bonding connection rather than a good season
• Corrosion or paint lifting on the drive castings
• Growth or coating over the anode blocking its action
• Fixings seized solid with corrosion

🛠️ Service Notes

• At 31 kg it needs proper support while the fixings are undone and started
• Clean the mounting face to bright metal, leave the anode unpainted, and renew once around half consumed
• Triple and quad IPS installations need extra bonding cable 21200402 between the pods, one for a triple and two for a quad
• Requirements: a Volvo Penta IPS or an Aquamatic DPI, DPH, DPS, SX, OX, FWD or DPR sterndrive; Electronic Vessel Control generation C2 or later; a 2.5in, 4in or 7in EVC display or Glass Cockpit; and a fibreglass hull
• Twin Aquamatic sterndrive installations are supplied with two back-up anodes
• Extra bonding cable is needed between IPS units on triple and quad installations - one for a triple, two for a quad
• Volvo Penta recommends keeping shore power connected while berthed
• Below 75% battery state of charge with no shore power the system enters a monitor-only mode: status is still visible at the helm but protection comes from the back-up sacrificial anodes
• Below 50% battery state of charge the system is inactive and protection comes entirely from the back-up anodes
• Typical consumption is under 350 mA for a triple IPS1/10 installation with unpainted drives; with painted drives that can fall below 50 mA
• Always follow Volvo Penta's instructions for painting IPS drives, and the legislation governing antifouling paints where the boat is used
