[This question inspired by Capt Neal]

You just sold all your powdered Mercury, that you
made into a paste with tuna fat, and had enough
money left over to purchase a 56' aluminum yacht.

It is an expensive aluminum yacht, therefore cost
is not a factor in developing mulitple solutions to
protect the hull from galvanic corrosion.

What are your solutions? [1 pt]


Since the boat is already produced, there
is little one can do other than install cathodic
protection. An active cathodic protection
system would be more effective than a
passive system such as zincs.

Active cathodic protection uses a little electricity
but I'm sure the battery bank would be large
enough on a 56 foot yacht to accommodate it.
