Aluminum anode for Pod Drive 3.0 Evo and saildrive kit of Pod Drive 6.0 Evo

The ePropulsion P3-LU01-00 aluminium anode is a critical cathodic protection component. Its primary function is to protect the metal parts of your Pod Drive 3.0 Evo motor and the Pod Drive 6.0 Evo saildrive kit from galvanic corrosion, particularly in a marine environment.

This anode is specifically designed to be compatible with ePropulsion Pod Drive 3.0 Evo motors and the Pod Drive 6.0 Evo Pod Drive saildrive kit.

The precise dimensions of the ePropulsion P3-LU01-00 anode are as follows:

Length: 77.02 mmWidth: 69.29 mmHeight: 10.00 mm

The net weight of the ePropulsion P3-LU01-00 anode is 0.07 kg.

As a wear part, the anode must be inspected regularly. It should be replaced when visibly corroded or reduced by half compared to its original size. Periodic replacement is necessary to maintain effective corrosion protection.

No, this anode is specifically designed for the Pod Drive 3.0 Evo and the Pod Drive 6.0 Evo saildrive kit. Using it with other models may not provide adequate protection or physical compatibility.

Replacing an anode typically requires basic tools such as a wrench or screwdriver, depending on the mounting system. It is recommended to consult your ePropulsion motor’s user manual for precise installation instructions and required tools.

The anode is generally located on the submerged part of the engine or saildrive, in an area where it can effectively protect the metal components. For the exact location, please refer to the specific user manual of your Pod Drive 3.0 Evo engine or the Pod Drive 6.0 Evo saildrive kit.

Anodes are usually supplied alone. The fastenings (screws, nuts) are often reused from the previous anode or must be purchased separately if they are worn or lost. Please check the contents of the packaging or the product description for more details.

The ePropulsion P3-LU01-00 anode has a horseshoe shape, designed to fit specifically in the mounting areas of the Pod Drive 3.0 Evo and the Pod Drive 6.0 Evo saildrive kit.

No, this anode is specifically designed and sized for ePropulsion Pod Drive 3.0 Evo motors and the saildrive kit of the Pod Drive 6.0 Evo. It is not compatible with motors from other brands.

Painting an anode is strongly discouraged. The paint would create an insulating barrier preventing the anode from functioning correctly as a sacrificial metal, thereby making cathodic protection ineffective.

It is recommended to inspect the anode at regular intervals, ideally every time the boat is taken out of the water or at least once a year, to assess its wear and ensure it continues to provide effective protection.

Yes, aluminum is a recyclable material. Once the used anode is removed, it can be disposed of in the appropriate metal recycling channels.

Generally, anodes are designed to fit correctly in only one way. It is important to ensure it is properly positioned and in electrical contact with the metal part to be protected. Refer to your engine manual for precise installation instructions.

Anodes are sacrificial wear parts by design, intended to corrode in order to protect other components. They are generally not covered by the standard equipment warranty, as their wear indicates proper operation. However, the manufacturer's warranty applies to initial manufacturing defects.
