Hull zinc anode Bavaria 40 2008

(1/2) > >>

kavok:
Have you any informations how to change it avoiding water infiltrations by its bolt?

Craig:
Zinc Hull anode should be held on by a nyloc nut on the anode. You should be able to dive down and undo this nut and replace the anode without any water coming into the boat.

To be sure, have someone inside the boat to hold the other end, just to make sure that the through hull bolt does not turn as you undo the nut.

It's a safety earthing point, to help prevent people being electrocuted in the water if there's a shorepower fault.

Are you sure or is only a your idea?
The manual say as potential equalizer.
