Tecnoseal R2 Rudder Anode - Zinc - 2-13/16" Diameter

The Tecnoseal R2 Rudder Anode in zinc is a vital cathodic protection device designed specifically for saltwater and brackish-water vessels. This anode is crucial for preventing galvanic corrosion that can affect underwater metal components such as rudders, shafts, and fittings. By sacrificing itself, the anode protects your rudder assembly, ensuring the longevity of this essential steering component.

Operating on the principle of sacrificial corrosion protection, the Tecnoseal R2 anode uses zinc, which is more electronegative than the steel or bronze of your rudder. This allows it to corrode preferentially, thereby preserving the integrity of your rudder. The 2-13/16" diameter is engineered to provide adequate current output for standard rudder applications without adding excessive drag or weight.

Ideal for both commercial anglers and recreational boaters, the Tecnoseal R2 Rudder Anode is essential for maintaining reliable performance in saltwater environments. Regular inspection and replacement every 1–3 years, depending on usage and salinity, will keep your steering system functioning optimally. This anode is specifically designed for rudder protection, making it a smart investment for any boat owner.
