Maddox Anodes Features: Winner 2007 Complies with ABYC & DNV directives Protects fibreglass and timber boats Stops wood rot in timber vessels Attracts less growth than zinc anodes Maintains hull and propeller coatings Improves vessel efficiency & performance Description: Product Code: MPS-MAD4.2 The Maddox anode is an internationally accredited sacrificial anode for timber and fibreglass vessels. The patented composite alloy is closer than zinc in mV potential to the submerged metals found on most boats making it less aggressive on coatings and parts than the zinc equivalent. Product Code: MPS-MAD2.5 Product Code: MPS-MAD1.6 A single transom mounted Maddox anode negates the need for all other shaft, rudder and trim tab anodes previously fitted and is connected to the Vessel Bonding System. Galvanic Series of Metals The Galvanic Series of Metals is a list of known metals and their relative voltage generated in water. (milliVolts or mV) A Maddox anode has a mV potential difference of up to -300 mV to that of heavy zinc on this scale. It is this difference that makes a Maddox anode a higher performing choice for protection and performance. Visit us at: www.marineprotectionsystems.com.au

Marine Protection Systems Compliance: Maintenance Instructions: ABYC E-2 Cathodic Protection. Sec 2.5.1 DNV – RP-B401 – CP Design. Sec 1.1 & 6.3.5 The Maddox Anode has no moving or serviceable parts. Installation Instructions: Marine Protection Systems recommends regular visual anode inspections and a comprehensive inspection whenever the vessel is on hardstand. Maddox Anodes Effective use of an anode in a closed circuit is dependent on its connection to a bonding system. MAD1.6 MAD2.5 MAD4.2 The appropriate size anode for any one vessel depends on the type, volume and surface area of the...
