Not sure if this is the right forum...feel free to move to appropriate place.
I have a Panther aftermarket PTT which had a lot of corrosion after only 2 years. It's aluminum. I've cleaned it, will prime with zinc chromate, then probably spray with automotive undercoat. The powder coating has almost totally flaked off. It was installed w/o an anode. It is also not grounded.
Panther wants $26 bucks for an anode. West Marine has them for $12-15. Question is should I go with a zinc type or aluminum type. Do I also need to ground it to the engine block? Is there a better cover paint over the primer than automotive undercoat?
thanks
