What size Anodes do I need for 60ft boat

[moggyjo]

I need to get some anodes, for 60ft NB.

Could anyone please point me in the right direction for buying some (the best price) and what size and type for canal use.

Thankyou,

wendy

I imagine carriage may well be an issue on such heavy items, and you are probably better buying somewhere you can get to easily.

 

If not, then something like this.....

But did you say your OH, works down Uxbridge way ?

 

If so, it's surely worth a conversation with Uxbridge Boat Centre.

 

I don't know about their price, though ?

Yes Alan, he is back on the gravel run this week, I didnt think of UBC, I'll ask if he can pop in there. Your right the carriage would probably cost a fortune,

Thanks,

Second thoughts, to save you time 60ft.

2.5 kg are a bit small, then.

 

3.5 or 4.5 ono would be more appropriate.

It partly depends how often you expect to change them.

I've got a box of bolt on anodes for sale, been in the for sale section since last , can't remember. Anyone interested? Not sure the weight off hand, I'll check tomorrow. They will be competitively priced.

Thanks - don't know how I missed that - I asked because the marine co. suggested 4 x 4.5 kgs items on our 62 footer and I wanted a "second opinion"... still I suppose its more a case of how often they will need changing than how well they protect....

 

Thanks,

The anodes I want to dispose of are only 1.6kg, there about 9" x 3" and I have 5. There are also 4 small round (3") ones Any offers?

[moggyjo]

I bought the 2.5 x 4 now I am wondering if I should get some biger ones as well, when I go to Midland Chandlers in Braunston tomorrow, as I noticed yesterday that mine has 6 in all and not 4 as I thought. If after say 7 or 8 years they still look in good nick does that mean there is a problem, as the one in the middle of the boat I saw yesterday looked in good shape (through the water anyway) ?

This site http://www.z-guard.co.uk/freshwater.html says you need 6 x 2.5kg ones for a 60' boat.
