Embodiment Construction

[0034]Referring to FIG. 1, a preferred embodiment of an anode plug device 10 is shown with an anode 100 held therein. The anode plug device 10 is shown according to a preferred embodiment having a connector 11 that has a channel therethrough. According to a preferred embodiment, the connector 11 is illustrated having a lower body portion 11a, an upper body portion 11b, and a connecting portion lie. The connector 11 preferably has a threaded portion 13 that is matingly threaded for connection to a threaded bore 201 of an engine cooling system component, such as the pipe 200 (or other structure to which the device 10 is mounted). The connector 11 preferably has sealing means comprising a sealing mechanism for sealing the passage of seawater from escaping through the connector 10 when the anode 100 is removed. The sealing mechanism preferably comprises a sealing component. According to some embodiments, the sealing component may comprise a spring-loaded wafer valve. According to other emb
