Hi, depends on how much time it took for the amount of wastage so far and whether you have good electrical connection to whatever it it protecting. I would be more worried about checking those fastening studs given the amount of corrosion

That is 2 seasons use - so 12 months in the water

Will replace the studs if replacing the anode

My view: If sure the studs are good and you have good conductivity from anode to whatever it is protecting then I would clean off the white stuff with abrasives (but do not use a steel/wire brush) and use it for one season.

Yes, still another season at least left in them. Looks like less than 50% gone.

Show the piccies to your local chandler who will almost certainly tell you to replace them, and happily relieve you of £60

Yes, I did that and he did indeed say it required replacement!
