They do not do well when submerged. Test the sensor with a butane lighter (Not Lit) Flick your lighter outside in the...

Re: Zincs- More is better?
There is still confusion regarding galvanic protection. I have used a mag. hang over anode for 15 years now to bring my numbers up. I have the correct anodes on my 29 provided by BoatZincs.com.

Re: Exhaust manifold removal
For reliability replace them all.... I know it hurts... but welcome to boating!
