Aluminum anode question?

[Smart Boy]

I installed a set of aluminum anodes on my alpha one gen I last week. After I installed them I realized that the housing of the drive is aluminum and I am using an aluminum prop. Will this set up work or do I need to swap back to Zinc? I would rather ask than end up with a destroyed drive. Thanks for all the help. By the way, I boat in salt/brackish water.

I know that Merc recommends aluminum anodes so you are fine. I think that they are made from a slightly differnet grade of aluminum so they will destroy before the drive will.
