The flaps are exposed more to electrolytic corrosion because they are subjected to an important oxygenation when planning the boat. The anode is fixed on the upper face of the flaps. \u003cbr\u003eThe wear of the anodes should be monitored. It is recommended to replace them every year when maintenance is performed. \u003cbr\u003eYou should never paint an anode, nor its location. It should always be in contact with the metal part. Also, it is important to eliminate corrosion with a metal brush each time the helmet is cleaned. Please note that an anode without wear is a sign that it does not fulfill its function. It should never reach complete wear. When painting the helmet, wait to change the anode after painting. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 19mm (H) x 110mm (OD) x 11mm (ID) \u003cbr\u003eBest Use: Rudder\/Trim Tab\u003cbr\u003eDiameter: 4 3\/8\" (110mm) \u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Aluminum Alloy salt \u0026amp; brackish (mixed) water\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 0.51LB\u003cbr\u003eQuantity: Two (2)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePRODUCT NUMBER: FO-4172-M2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Video: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ERjfLvGJT3c\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Five Oceans","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12126703779883,"sku":"4172-M2","price":81.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2599\/6946\/files\/4172-M2_01.jpg?v=1745013305","url":"https:\/\/www.five-oceans.com\/products\/4-38-aluminum-rudder-trim-tab-anode-2-pack-fo4172-m2-fo-4172-m2","provider":"Five Oceans","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
