Abstract

The article discusses sacrificial anodes work by generating a small galvanic current that makes the boat's underwater fixtures cathodic with respect to the anode. The same effect can be produced by feeding controlled amounts of DC current through the water to fittings (and the hull, if metallic). This is the basis for impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems. A reference electrode senses the.
