Installation Instructions (Refer to Figure 3.1)
NOTE: The anode assembly is identified by its black wire. It
must be handled carefully so as not to abrade or
scuff the platinized surface nor damage the threaded
stem. Installation is accomplished as follow:
Cable Needed: #14 gauge THW single conductor – to
connect anode to CAPAC Controller.
(Cable Not Furnished With CAPAC System)
1. Drill a ½ inch diameter clearance hole through the
hull from inside the bilge making certain that nothing
on the inside or outside of the hull interferes with the
chosen location. Alter position as needed to avoid
obstructions.
2. Prepare metal or wood hulls to receive Capastic
epoxy shields around anodes. Apply Capastic
shields in accordance with instructions on containers
before installation of anode.
3. Strip the waxed paper from the gray rubber (butyl)
bead sealing compound and wrap three turns of the
butyl bead around the outer edge on the back of the
anode holder (item 1) and one turn around the brass
hub. Then place anode in a warm (at least 70°F) place
to keep bead soft until installed.
4. Insert the warm anode hub through the hole in the
hull and press the anode in place.
5. On the inside of the hull, wrap three turns of butyl
bead around the anode gland and against the hull and
place items 2, 3, and 4 over the threaded stem of the
anode. Tighten item 4 but do not apply more than 30
ft. – lbs. of torque.
6. Strip ends of #14 gauge single conductor and 9 inch
anode cables approximately 5/16” and insert the
