In this video I will break down old Zinc Anodes for my Father's Boat and cast brand new ones to replace and Install. Let me know what you think!

I never heard of zinc anodes for boats, so I asked ChatGPT how they work: "Zinc anodes, also known as sacrificial anodes or zincs, are commonly used in boats and other marine structures to protect against corrosion. They work by utilizing a principle called galvanic corrosion, which involves sacrificing a more reactive metal to protect a less reactive one. Boats are typically made of materials such as steel, aluminum, or fiberglass, which are susceptible to corrosion when exposed to seawater. When a zinc anode is connected to the boat's metal hull or other metallic components, it becomes the most reactive metal in the system. When seawater comes into contact with the boat's hull and other metal parts, it acts as an electrolyte, creating an electrochemical cell. The zinc anode, being more reactive than the boat's metal, undergoes corrosion instead of the boat's metal. In this process, the zinc anode gradually corrodes and dissolves into the water. By sacrificing itself, the zinc anode prevents or minimizes corrosion on the boat's hull and other metal parts. This protects the boat's structural integrity and reduces the likelihood of costly damage caused by corrosion. It's important to regularly inspect and replace zinc anodes as needed, as they will eventually wear down and lose their effectiveness. The rate of corrosion depends on factors such as the water's salinity, the boat's location, and the amount of electrical current present in the environment. Overall, zinc anodes serve as a sacrificial barrier, safeguarding the boat's metal components by diverting corrosion away from them and onto the anode itself."

I hope you were wearing a respirator for that. Zinc fumes are no joke, even when you're outside. Either way, awesome work

Hi, reallly i am amazed this video, can you pls tell me the furnace name? What type of furnace is used? Then What did you use when making that mold? I mean what raw material? sand or clay or something?

What purpose did the nuts you placed on top of the metal brackets serve?

To prevent the metal brackets from floating. The zinc is heavier then the brackets, and they could start floating on top of it :)

While the initiative to recycle and repurpose old anodes demonstrated in this video showcases an admirable effort toward sustainability, it's crucial to understand the implications from a cathodic protection specialist's perspective. As professionals in the field, we've observed that once anodes are consumed beyond 40-50%, their metal balance is significantly altered. Melting down and recasting these anodes without adjusting the metal composition according to stringent standards compromises their functionality and effectiveness in corrosion protection. This practice could inadvertently mislead those in the boating industry and boat owners into believing it's a viable method, potentially risking the integrity and safety of marine equipment. While we support innovative recycling methods, we strongly advise consulting with a corrosion professional before adopting such practices. It's essential to ensure that any recycled anodes meet the necessary specifications for effective cathodic protection. Let's strive for sustainability while upholding the highest standards of safety and performance.

Sacrificial anodes, salt water eats metal which is bad for boats. But someone figured out that if you put these zinc anodes on the hull, they'll slow down any corrosion on the steel. That's why the ones he melted looked gnarly!
