Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information about Maddox Anodes, a product designed for the protection of fibreglass and timber boats. It highlights the compliance with ABYC and DNV directives and the benefits of using Maddox Anodes over traditional zinc anodes.
Specifications: Maddox Anodes have a potential difference of up to -300 mV compared to heavy zinc, making them a superior choice for vessel protection. They are available in three product codes: MPS-MAD4.2, MPS-MAD2.5, and MPS-MAD1.6.
Features: The anodes are less aggressive on coatings and parts, attract less growth, maintain hull and propeller coatings, improve vessel efficiency, and prevent wood rot in timber vessels. A single transom-mounted Maddox anode can replace multiple other anodes.
Installation Instructions: Installation should comply with ABYC E-2 Cathodic Protection and DNV-RP-B401 standards. Key steps include ensuring firm attachment of star washers, inspecting bonding wires, and maintaining connections. Anodes are customizable for fitting, and marine grease should be used on bolts and washers.
Maintenance Instructions: Maddox Anodes require regular visual inspections and comprehensive checks when the vessel is on hardstand. Effective use depends on connection to a bonding system.

Anodes-Maddox2-1

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
