The CMT-R02AL is a 2-13/16" aluminum rudder anode designed to protect rudders and submerged metal components from galvanic corrosion. Manufactured from marine-grade aluminum alloy, this anode sacrifices itself to prevent corrosion damage to more critical and expensive components such as rudders, shafts, and hardware.
Its compact size makes it ideal for smaller rudders and tighter installations, while still delivering reliable protection in harsh marine environments.
