Re: St. Augustine in May/June: UPDATED: Now With Dates!
Got you thinking about zincs lately?
Brilliant concept... a sacrificial metal to distract activity from the boat.
It always amazed me that boat zincs were dissolving away until I sat back and thought "Take a tub full of hydrogen sufide cells, hook them and all of the metal parts together, energize the entire structure, add 110v power from an unsecured power plant, and immerse the whole shebang in a giant brine solution with 200 other boats."
It's a wonder the whole boat isn't covered with a pale green corrosive residue from day 1...![]()
