Sacrificial Anode Information 

 
There is a zinc alloy sacrificial anode fitted to the rear of the Micron Gemini which is intended 
to prolong its active life when submerged for long periods of time. 
 
The lifespan of the anode itself will vary greatly depending on the conditions it is exposed to, 
so it may need to be changed on a relatively regular basis. As a minimum, Tritech International 
Ltd recommend replacing the anode every year with the sonar in regular use. 
 
To replace the anode, follow the guidance below:  

 

Step 1 

 

Remove the spent or damaged sacrificial anode 
from your sonar with a cross head screwdriver. 

Step 2 

 

Open the replacement spare kit. Build the kit with 
the plastic washer nearest the sonar, anode and 
then the screw. 

 

Step 3 

 

Fit to the sonar and tighten up the screw. 

 

 

 

Note  

Spare anode kits can be purchased from Tritech International Ltd using 
the part number: 

S11882
