By far the majority of accelerated zinc loss cause is the shore power

The first step is to install a galvanic isolator.

Is it possible to install the isolator external to the boat using the
right combination of connectors and junction boxes?

The shore power circuits on my boat are almost impossible to get at in
any reasonable way.

The only problem I can imagine is
dealing with the heavy connectors and
cables. Otherwise, it should work fine.

You could use a conventional power cord
from the dock to your boat and locate
the GI box on the boat rather than on
the dock.
