[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 385639, member: 6937"] Well, after having used a Martyr Diver's Dream zinc anode on my Triton 1650, I can tell you that they don't work in salt water. Because the zinc was in like-new condition, and the center keel of my boat was history. Then tried magnesium, but read about the potential of lifting paint....I went ahead and removed it the other day. The anode is pretty well shot after just 60 days in the water. I still won't know if the paint has been damaged until I haul my boat out for a closer inspection. In any case, after trying these 2 types of anodes, I'm now switching to aluminum. If I don't get some satisfactory results here, I'm just going to buy a fiberglass boat and say the hell with it :x :x because I'm sick and tired of dealing with electrolysis. [/QUOTE]
