I was wondering if there is anything I should know about installing zinc on my aluminum boat? It is a 33 year old boat and I just took it down to bare aluminum and am almost done painting. I did notice some pitting/corrosion on the bottom of the boat.
I would like to replace the zinc and I was wondering are there any rules of thumb?
1) How do you determine how big a piece?
2) do you just bolt it to the boat?
3) what type of bolt metal should I use?
Basically I want to do as much as possible to stop anymore corrosion to the boat. So if you have other suggestions please let me know
Boat details
21 ft starcraft chieftain (Al)
Will be docked in a freshwater marina for 6 months
thanks
