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?
