DP-G 290 Magnesium anode kits - online supplier?

The only bits I can't get locally for this years service is the anodes for DP-G 290 drive. I'm in freshwater so need Mangesium, looking for both bar & ring kit.

I have used Aluminium for the last 7/8 years in freshwater with occasional salt water use, they seem really good and cheaper.

Try these people http://www.zincsmart.com/ They seem to have just about everything for Volvo 290's including magnesium versions.

No connection other than a satisfied customer.

When you say 'really good' do you mean "they last a long time" (not good), or, "they fizzle away at an acceptable rate" - I'm guessing you've had no out-drive erosion and if you've lasted 7/8 years it must be a good thing

I use Boatzinc.com in the USA. Don't know if they carry magnesium, but they have a really good website.

Thanks for the info folks.

I ended up buying from a UK eBay store at £40 per kit, with free postage. I wanted to purchase within the EU are Irish Customs are VERY tight on imports from outside EU.. hassle + extra cost

You can find them cheaper if you look around.

And yes they fizz away at an acceptable rate and I have used a couple of sets in that time.
