Re: Hull Anodes
I pulled the anodes I put on last year, and the backs look like a white crystalline material has grown. I've been in brackish water on the ICW, so prob aluminum chloride. Can't be good for conduction, but Capac still read OK. Thinking about putting SST washers on, so drill holes dont erode and hurt ...

Re: Hull Anodes
Busia,
Have always bought from boatzincs. Good folks.
Would discourage using zinc anything with this system of protection. Will form a galvanic cell and increase erosion. You might get by with this in real cold water, tho.

Re: Hull Anodes
JR, you confirmed what I thought was the case. Just seeking confirmation to be sure.
Seems thick washers on the outside of anodes would keep them on longer as they erode.putting washers between anode & hull seems like a very bad idea.
Thanks again!

Hull Anodes
Just having bottom job, starting with sandblasting to bare aluminum. Is it best to apply anodes when the hull is bare, before any paint is applied? If so, what protects the hull surface under the anodes? Is it just natural Al oxidation? What keeps the hull from pitting under the anodes, esp in salt ...

Does anyone have experience with BWM paints? What is your impression vs Interlux or Petit?
