Q-88 88mm (3-1/2″) Shaft Anode

The Q-88 Shaft Anode (88mm / 3-1/2″) is a premium-quality sacrificial anode designed to safeguard your boat’s propeller shaft and other submerged metal components from galvanic corrosion. When operating in saltwater environments, electrolysis is an unavoidable process that can quickly erode critical underwater fittings such as shafts, propellers, and stern gear. The Q-88 anode acts as the first line of defense, absorbing the corrosive action and protecting your vessel’s valuable components.

Manufactured from high-grade zinc, the Q-88 delivers optimal performance and longevity in harsh marine conditions. Its 88mm (3-1/2″) internal diameter ensures a perfect fit for shafts of the same size, providing reliable coverage and consistent contact with the metal surface. The clamshell-style design allows for quick installation and secure fastening, ensuring the anode stays firmly in place during operation.

The Q-88 is ideal for yachts, sailboats, fishing boats, and commercial vessels, offering peace of mind to both recreational and professional mariners. By acting as a sacrificial component, the anode gradually wears down over time, effectively diverting harmful galvanic currents away from your shaft and propeller. This protective process significantly reduces the risk of equipment failure and lowers long-term maintenance costs, making it an essential part of any comprehensive marine protection system.

Key Features of the Q-88 Shaft Anode:

• Internal Diameter: 88mm (3-1/2″) for precise shaft fitting.

• Material: Marine-grade zinc for maximum corrosion resistance in saltwater.

• Design: Split clamshell construction for easy installation and secure fit.

• Function: Protects shafts, propellers, and stern gear from galvanic corrosion.

• Application: Suitable for leisure yachts, sailboats, and professional marine vessels.

Routine maintenance is critical—inspect your anode regularly and replace when significantly eroded to ensure continuous protection. The Q-88 is a cost-effective solution that not only extends the lifespan of your propulsion system but also ensures smoother, safer operation at sea.

Whether you’re navigating coastal waters or operating offshore, the Q-88 88mm (3-1/2″) Shaft Anode provides dependable and long-lasting corrosion defense, keeping your vessel’s critical underwater components safe and fully operational.
