5-1/2″ Zinc Rudder & Trim Anode YR-2 Round

5-1/2″ Zinc Rudder & Trim Anodes YR-2 Round is designed to provide superior cathodic protection to rudders, trim tabs, shafts, and other vital underwater components. Built from high-quality marine-grade zinc, this anode is specially formulated for saltwater applications, where zinc has been proven to perform best.

As a sacrificial anode, the YR-2 Round acts as the first line of defense against corrosion. When dissimilar metals are exposed to the harsh marine environment, electrical currents naturally occur, causing destructive electrolysis. Instead of your rudder, trim tab, or bracket deteriorating, this zinc anode absorbs the corrosion, gradually wearing away over time while preserving your vessel’s essential hardware.

With its large 5-1/2″ round diameter, this anode provides expanded surface coverage, making it especially suitable for larger vessels, yachts, or boats that spend extended periods in saltwater. Its robust size ensures a longer service life compared to smaller anodes, offering more consistent and dependable protection in demanding marine conditions.

The bolt-on design allows for quick and straightforward installation. Whether you are carrying out routine maintenance or replacing a depleted anode, the YR-2 Round can be installed efficiently with basic tools. Once in place, it begins working immediately, giving you peace of mind that your marine investments are protected.

Routine inspection is simple—check the anode during haul-outs or scheduled maintenance and replace once approximately 50% of the material has been consumed. This proactive approach will ensure your rudder, trim tabs, and other critical parts remain free from damaging corrosion.

Durable, dependable, and easy to install, the 5-1/2″ Zinc Rudder & Trim Anode YR-2 Round is an essential part of any saltwater vessel’s maintenance plan. Whether you are a recreational boater, a yacht owner, or managing commercial marine equipment, this anode offers the reliable protection needed to extend the life of your underwater components.
