Two-piece clamp-on aluminium shaft anode for 1.25″ propeller shafts. Steel core bar controls wastage and stops the anode shaking loose as it erodes.
Our price is the manufacturer's home-market RRP — what this gear sells for where it's made. Branded marine equipment in Thailand typically retails 15–90% above that, when prices are published at all. Ours doesn't.
Shaft anodes clamp directly onto the propeller shaft to protect the shaft and propeller. Size by shaft diameter — this anode fits 1.25″ shafts. Fit to clean, bright metal (no paint or grease beneath), midway between the stern bearing and propeller, and re-check tightness after the first run. Most owners renew shaft anodes at every annual haul-out.

MG Duff has been the UK’s leading name in marine cathodic protection since 1956, casting anodes at its own Chichester foundry with every melt batch-tested for alloy composition.
Inspect anodes at least annually and replace once 50% consumed. Never paint or antifoul an anode — coatings stop it working. Correct electrical bonding is essential; ask us if you are unsure about your bonding circuit. FREE delivery to Trang, Krabi & Phuket on our weekly courier run; free standard delivery across Thailand on orders over $250 (parcels to 10 kg).
Zinc for clean salt water; aluminium where the boat sits in brackish estuary marinas or moves between fresh and salt, because zinc can go passive there. The boat anode selector gives you a pattern and quantity for your boat in about a minute, and the guide zinc vs aluminium anodes in Thai waters explains why. Replace anodes when about half is gone, and replace them as a set.
Keep one alloy across the bonded system so every anode wastes at the same rate; mixing is for separate, unbonded fittings only. Ask us if you are unsure.
Yes, in stock in Thailand and dispatched within 1–2 working days.
