They work on a "line of sight" type basis to protect any exposed steel. Could be the bottom of the threaded plug is needing the most protection. If it was mine and I'd already bought a new one I'd install the new one. If not, I'd put a little dope on the threads and put it back in.
Don't get too carried away wrapping or doping the threads. It has to have a good electrical bond to the tank in order to work.
Something about this topic has caused me fits trying to open this "new" topic. I had an entire section of dialog that had to be forgotten just to get the photo posted??????
Anyway....Sport45's response is what I was trying to get at.
Is there something that causes just the part nearest the thread portion to be "attacked"???? It would seem that the bad guys would attack the entire anode, not just a particular section.
So....can this be caused because I completely drain my system after each use? We only get out once a month or so. I never wanted to leave stale water in the tank, so I drain it after each use. Can this be the reason for what I consider to be "funny wear".
Sport45...what do you mean by "LINE OF SIGHT"
