In order to function properly, the exposed metallic disc must net be
painted. The black plastic holder may be painted as shown in Figure 3.3.
LOCATION (See drawing SK220B – Figure 3.2)
Single Anode Installations
For single anode installations it is recommended that the anode be
mounted as close as possible to the keel line, approximately ¼ the length of the
hull, as measured from the stern. On wood hulls where a ground plate is
mounted on the keel, the anode should be placed away from the keel by
approximately ¼ the width of the boat at that section.
Multiple Anode Installations
Additional anodes may be installed as shown on drawing SK220B
(Figure 3.2)
Although these recommended positions insure uniform hull
protection, the exact anode location is not critical, but should take onto
consideration the following factors:
1. The Anode must not interfere with existing installations. A
location which may be clear in the bilge is not necessarily clear
on the outside hull surface and vice versa.
2. The anode should be reasonably accessible so that inspection of
the electrical connection can be made conveniently.
3. The hull area where the anode is to be mounted should be
virtually flat.
4. Avoid locations which would interfere with lifting slings.
5. Mount the anode at least 2 feet from the propeller shaft.
6. Do Not install the anode adjacent to depth sounder or sonar
transducers.
