Sacrificial hull anode on Oceanis 37?

[Rob Heath]

There is no hull anode fitted on my recently purchased2009 Oceanis 37.
She has been in used in fresh water all her life, but we have moved her to the sea.
I can't actually see any mixed metal outside the hull, so cannot see any point in fitting an anode other than on the propeller.
Any thoughts please?

A prop cone anode and perhaps the special thin shaft anode made for Beneteau's with a tight clearance between prop and cutlass bearing. There is no hull anode, the other exterior metals are not connected to ground.

What Gunni said. And if you have a bow thruster it will have a zinc on each side of the leg.

I have an 1991 Beneteau Oceanis 370. It only has a zinc plug that attaches to the end of the prop. I also have a zinc fish that when I moor it while not in use I lowered t he fish over the side. The zinc fish takes most of the corrosion and I can always replace the zinc fish without a haul out or diver. This has worked GREAT for the last 14 years I have own the boat. See picture so far 8 years with this fish
