Boat corrosion protection for saltwater boating

Focus on rest – not rust. Our Active Corrosion Protection for saltwater boating helps protect your boat’s drive from saltwater corrosion, reducing the reliance on sacrificial anodes. This innovation makes boat maintenance more manageable and efficient.

Protect your drive from saltwater corrosion

Active Corrosion Protection is an effective and reliable system that protects your drive from galvanic corrosion. By applying impressed currents through a transom unit, the system continuously measures and automatically adjusts the electrical output for excellent corrosion protection in both brackish and salt water. Active Corrosion Protection replaces conventional corrosion protection that uses marine anodes with a shorter life span.

A complete integrated corrosion protection system

Active Corrosion Protection is fully integrated into the standard engine displays, enabling you to monitor the corrosion protection status directly from the helm. It comes as a complete package, with a control unit, a transom unit and one back-up sacrificial anode per drive. The system is powered by your boat’s auxiliary battery – and is backed-up with shore power when at the dock.
