Inboard engine anodes

Postby Shaun » Tue Aug 09, 2011 9:52 am

G'day,
Anyone know where you can buy engine anodes from?
Where did the fellas that had Arona's get their anodes from?
Greg, you mentioned about DIY making anodes in this thread :arrow: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=517 , Any further info on how to make them?, mine looked like it was about 9mm or 10mm wide diameter , only about the size of half a pea left of it now,
Thanks for any help.
cheers

Hi Shaun

Yeah ! I had to make mine ?

You can buy the anode in length, and all I did by memory was I drilled the anode out and tapped it so it screwed onto the plug . I think I had to put a threaded rod on the plug end so I could screw it on ? or was that on another engine ? :? I will go down to the garage and check what I did and get back to you

Cheers Bear

G'Day Shaun,
I bought the rod from " the House of Anchors and Anodes" in St Peters Sydney.
The originals have a metal insert in them that makes them more robust and resists the tendency to snap off.

I just buy mine from Minards Yanmar in Newcastle. Cheap as chips.....but not much use if you don't have a Yanmar I guess.
