Material
Magnesium

This is the Martyr XDP-B drive ring anode, made of magnesium and carried under maker part number CM3861636M. It is described as an XDP-B drive ring. After fitting a new anode, check the propeller clearance. Magnesium is the metal matched to fresh water, with zinc named for salt water, so think about where the boat lives before choosing this one.

Our take

Magnesium construction is the thing to weigh on the CM3861636M. Magnesium is matched to fresh water and zinc to salt water, so a boat kept in salt water should look at a zinc anode instead. Check propeller clearance after fitting.
