Anodes

[sgball]

Back in January I asked a question about anodes. Our friends had to replace there eighteen month old prop as it had been eaten away. Six anodes are now in place. A diver has recently checked the anodes, they are disappearing very quickly. If any readers have their boats moored in Brighton Marina can they let us know if they are also having problems.

Hmmmm! This happened to me once many years ago. Investigations showed that in the silt under my berth on the Hamble there was a huge amount of metal left over from a jetty that had been there in WW2. They hauled it out and the problem stopped. Maybe there's a large chunk of metal under the boat. Anodes are an inexact science and this is a possibility... when did you last see your bicycle ;-)

Have a look at the posting, 16 below this one, entitled "Checking sacrifical anode circuit". I suggest you call M G Duff for their free advice. Their number is on the threads.
