Hello team

i have a problem

I went to service the anode on the base of my about board.

The one that's about 20 cm long and bolts onto the base of the transom mount

by a bolt at either end.

I was fishing the next day

Now because of Murphy law one of the bolts snapped.

Due to brackets on the transom , getting to the said bolt to tap it out is near on impossible.

My question is this, and it may seem stupid to some but I just want to double check and stupids my middle name.

Can I just run a single holed anode on the side that doesn't have the snapped bolt ?

I would say say yes but I imagine because it's smaller I would just be replacing it quicker than the larger anode that is 20 cm long and travels full width of the transom m mount?

I wouldn't due to reduced surface area of a single bolt anode.
