They are cheap and can be bought at basically any marine store.

Re: online zinc kits

are the zinc anode still important if the boat is always dry docked except for occasional use?

Re: online zinc kits

The short answer is YES. It really depends on what your boat is made out of, what is exposed to the water, the elctronics you have onboard and how it is all wired...stuff like that. Zincs are cheap and easy, if in doubt, add it. As a rule of thumb: if you have VHF, add it. Also, they might be one of those things where the cost of shipping the weight offsets any savings from buying online.
