My zincs dont waste away very fast because I have no stray voltage
in
my hull. My hull is isolated from all electrical currents bith AC &
DC.
I also use a isolater to keep any stray voltage from other vessels
of
the dock power from causing any damage. My zincs are 20 pound tear
drops and will last 3 years without 50%loss.

Your neigbouring vessels probably do have stray voltage... and since
you see
fit to use a dock like some Power Boater... instead of a Mooring...
you are
at risk from them.

Did you miss the part about my voltage isolater? plu I measure stray
voltlage here all the time. Not an issue.


Way more seafood if you can hire someone brave enough to challenge
the
N. Atlantic to go and get it for you. Here we go and get it for
free.

I just walk down to Coolen's Dock and ask Tommy.... I get whatever
seafood
I want free as well.

Here I sail at night and pull a 25 foot sport net that quickly fills
with the freshest bounty the bay has to offer.





While your boat dries and and starts to shrink and crack and hogg
we
will be sailing the gulf or bays year round.

What makes you think a fibreglass vessel shrinks on dry dock??

Because all the moisture contained in plastic boat blisters freeze..
pop...shrink into craters that need to be ground and dug out.. filled
faired painted just to do it all again in 6 mo when you have to haul
again. Not to mention all the soaked core freezing and buckling your
bulworks and decks. Then you have to wait for warm enough weather so
all your plastic putties and goups can set up and dry. If you had a
steel boat you could weld in the coldest weather if needed.

BTW when you going to post pictures of the superior steel vessel under
construction in your local neighborhood?


It
doesn't..... and your one trip out for a 10 mile tour every week
hardly
constitutes a lot of use... lets face the facts.... both you and Neal
use
your boats like floating trailer homes.


RedCloud is my home and outclasses any trailor parked in Canaduh or
the USA.


It probably takes you 4 hours just
to pack and straighten the vessel for your weekly 4 hour sail.


More like 10 min..
