Abstract:
1. A corrosion protection system, the system comprising: a marine drive for propelling a marine vessel in saltwater, the marine drive comprising a generally planar outer running surface and a collection area located proximate to the outer running surface; a source of electricity; and an electrode that conducts the electricity to the saltwater such that the electricity inhibits corrosion on the outer running surface with a byproduct of chlorine gas bubbles; wherein the electrode is mounted on the marine drive and protrudes out from and at an angle to the outer running surface so as to inhibit flow of the chlorine gas bubbles towards the collection area at least when the marine vessel is stationary; wherein the electrode comprises an outer electrode surface that is set at said angle to the outer running surface, and wherein the outer electrode surface faces away from the collection area; and wherein the collection area is positioned with respect to the electrode so that the collection area would collect the chlorine gas bubbles if the outer electrode surface were positioned flush with the outer running surface.
