Default Rusty anchor?


Gould is right, unless it's big plow or Bruce type it's hardly worth the
effort.. I wouldn't even bother with one of those stamped 'Danforth type'.

If you just want to keep it for a back up, have it sand blasted and if there
is still enough metal left, just paint it with a rust inhibitor paint.

BTW. Galvanizing is not electroplating.. A proper galvanizing job is "hot
dipped".. It involves dipping in several chemical baths and then into motten
zinc. Electropated item seldom last more than one season on a boat around
salt water, then they start bleeding rust..
