This is the Martyr Anodes CMX-2 shaft anode, part number CMX02AL, made in aluminum and marked 7/8 in its name. It is a shaft-mounted anode. Martyr pairs aluminum with salt and brackish water, magnesium with fresh water and zinc with salt water, so the material you pick should follow the water you boat in. This aluminum version sits on the salt and brackish side.

Our take

As the aluminum version of the CMX-2 shaft anode, this one is matched by Martyr to salt and brackish water, while the maker pairs magnesium with fresh water. Using it in fresh water would go against that guidance.
