The FlexOfold 4-Blade Zinc Anode 116 is designed for use in salt water and helps protect your FlexOfold folding propeller from galvanic corrosion. For sailors, keeping the propeller protected is critical, especially on cruising sailboats, offshore boats, and vessels kept in marinas where stray current and salt water can quickly degrade underwater metal parts. Replacing worn zincs regularly helps extend the life of your propeller, hub, and saildrive or shaft installation. This genuine FlexOfold zinc anode is a simple but important maintenance item for any sailor using a 4-Blade FlexOfold propeller in salt water.
Zincs can be purchased to replace current degraded zinc anodes.
Compatibility
Fits all FlexOfold 4-bladed propellers from 25" and upwards.

Parts FAQ
Are FlexOfold parts interchangeable across propeller families?
No. Many anodes, cover plates, service kits, shock absorbers, nuts, and washers depend on blade count, shaft/saildrive family, and part number.
Should I buy parts before haulout?
Yes, if the part number is known. For unknown parts, gather photos and markings before haulout so the right parts can be ready.
