anodes

[cameocrew]

Anyone know of where i can get hull anodes of aprox. 6Kg with 10" hole centers??
Suppliers I have contacted say 9" is the standard hole pitch for this type of
anode

depends what they know as standard, my boat is now in the US and i have to get my anodes from Duffs in th UK because the hole spacing is different to US anodes. Try canada metals, they have a website although ihave not been into it, i know they do anodes called divers dreams, wich have slots instead of holes to fit the pitch of different anodes, not sure if they have them your size but thats all i can help with

I saw some longer ones in Shamrock Chandlery last week when I bought my 9in Duff ones. They had very generously slotted holes.
Worth a phone call. Come back to me if you can't find their number.

Have you thought of bolting the standard 9" to a backing plate with 12" centres?

Yes! but thanks for the reply. ( regretfully I will have little time when i lift out to
do any 'metal bashing' and as Cameo is a v.recent purchace Im not 100% shure
of what i will find below the old girls waterline so a 1 for 1 solution seems the way to go

Thanks for that Keith. I suspect the present anodes (or their remains) come from
'Across the pond'
