440: Zinc Anodes

[Boardshorts]

Can anyone please help me with the size / specifications of the zinc anode that is placed on the hulls about mid-ship ?

Thanks for your help.

Whats your boat made of? Fiberglass vessels may have a grounding plate midships. Aluminium or steel, diff story

It is not an exact science - judging by the boat size you need a zinc in the vicinity of 3 pounds.
Do you have bolts on the hull for the zinc? pay attention to the distance between them to ensure that the new unit can be attached.
The attached picture shows the zinc that lives on my boat (L400) doing its job very well. It is 1.2Kg = 2.6Lb. You will need an unit somewhat larger.

The L450 hull anode is called ZH3 if that is any help. Picture attached. So far I have seen very little wear after 2 years. Dave
