Anodes - where and how many?

[rivers5447]

Hi all - just picked up a 1976 Silverton Flybridge 26, and while I have a few small projects to complete over the offseason, its turnkey otherwise.

I'll be in saltwater, so I can choose zinc or aluminum, but I am not sure where they should go.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Pat

Welcome
It should be a inboard V drive and the anode(s) would be on the stern of the hull. Might also have one on each prop shaft close to the cutlass bearing

You should use zinc for salt water

The rudder should also have a round anode attached.
