Default Electricity from your anchor

An anchor buried in the mud and the ground plate on your boat may make a
great electricity source. Run an insulated wire from the anchor and one from
the ground plate to a simple dc-dc converter and you can charge your
batteries:

That would be a trolling battery!

I suppose if one chose the right material for the ground plate, one could
electroplate it with the zinc that formerly coated the anchor?
