FAQ's

Zincs are "sacrificial anodes" designed to corrode away to protect the much more expensive components of your boat such as engines, outdrives, running gear, etc. They will need to be inspected and replaced at least annually. Sometimes stray current exists and will cause zincs to deteriorate much faster. Under these conditions it is critical that the zincs be inspected and replaced more frequently as even a couple months without protection can cause serious damage.

Inspection and replacement is usually done while the boat is hauled for bottom painting or winter storage. We also have divers that are qualified to inspect and replace zincs while the boat is in the water. Zincs come in a wide range of shapes and engine specific types, and prices can vary greatly.
