I just bought a new to me 2002 Wellcraft with a VP 8.1gi and DP-SM drive. The outdrive has the VP active corrosion control gear on it but it is beaten up and has chinks missing from the plastic baseplate. I’m pretty sure it is not working.
Question: Since I will trailer the boat to a nearby lake and trailer it home after use 99% of the time, do I really need the active corrosion control? Can I get by with just adding the standard aluminum anode in the spot that now holds the active corrosion control plate?
