🚤 Understanding Anodes:
Sacrificial anodes, often made of zinc, aluminum, or magnesium, are strategically placed on a boat or engine's metal components that submerge in water. These anodes have a higher electrochemical potential than the other metal parts of the boat. When the boat is in the water, the anodes corrode sacrificially, diverting the corrosive action away from vital parts of the boat like the hull or engine. Essentially, they sacrifice themselves to protect the essential and expensive metal components from rust and corrosion.

Those anodes that don't have a fin buy still have that kind of intake (hole at one edge) should still face forward to the front of the boat or aft?
Hey There,
Thanks for watching. The anodes with a hole should be facing forward to the bow of the boat. If you have a question regarding a specific anode of your engine give us a call at 1-888-625-5460.
Happy Boating!
