Sent Jeffa a note last night and they responded promptly:
Hi Harvey.. You can just keep the ground cable as it is. It is made in a good way as you describe. It was a old story where the cable was connected to the motor etc. it is several years ago where it was done in that wrong way. |

My anode is connected to the aluminium shaft, and no other places. This after advice from Jefa homepage. It is inside the copper-free zone around the rudder shaft. Edited by Captain Cook - 25 October 2018 at 11:23 |

This setup, separate from the rest of the system with its own anode, makes sense. Glad you got that clarified.

The reason I mounted this little anode was a tiny bit of corrosion on my rudder-shaft. For some years I did not know that there has to be a copper-free antifouling zone around the rudder-shaft. Edited by Captain Cook - 08 November 2018 at 10:10 |

My Hanse 505, build 114, june 2016, has a separate anode for the rudder. And........i have replaced this anode TWICE already since 2016 (12000NM). The rudder stock is aluminum, the anode is zinc. I am keeping my rudder connected to the anode, and will check/replace it regularly.
