Aluminum Anodes

[jeffnick]

Looking for aluminum prop ring and dogbone anodes for my 270. Where do I get 'em?

Will this do?

In the UK for 270 parts I have found keypart.com to be excellent. They even ship to the Outer Hebrides!

Some places have zinc and some have magnesium. No single place had both pieces in aluminim. I got the dogbone from Boatzincs.com - they suggested I use their aluminum dogbone, and since they don't have an aluminum prop ring, I should use their zinc one. I don't think it's a good idea to use different kinds of anodes on the same drive; I found an aluminum ring on eBay.

Magnesium and zinc will disintegrate faster, but they should give better protection to the drive, since it is made of aluminum.
