I will be adding a magnesium tab on the outdrive and take up your
suggestion of the submerged magnesium fish connected to my grounding
system. A friend of mine who had an aluminum hull boat (Marinette)
used to dunk one of those anodes whenever he got into the dock.


Are you in salt water or fresh?

Seems to me that there are different anode materials for each.

Also ... this may help explain some of the mystery ... pertains to salt
water ..

I am in fresh water. I *assume* the anodes are magnesium, but they are
most likely original (since the boat lived it's previous life on a
trailer or in inland lakes) so who knows.

I am pulling the boat next week to do some work on it and will most
likely replace the anodes with magnesium anodes, plus adding a magnesium
tab on the cavitation plate.

Thanks again for all your help on this Richard.

BTW: I was obviously out of line with you in the recent past. You
continue to show yourself to be a class act and key contributor here.
Thanks for looking past that big mistake of mine and moving forward.
You are a good man and my observations were most obviously off base.

Can I safely say "I apologize to you" for making yet another mistake in
this NG?


No problem and thanks.

Thanks Richard.
