Electrolysis is a silent killer. It can damage numerous components in a vessel, including shafts, props, struts, rudders, sea cocks, and much more, with little warning until the damage is done. It is imperative that zincs are maintained properly so they may provide adequate protection. The current will flow from the zincs to the other components causing the current to dissolve the zinc material in lieu of your running gear, hence the term, “sacrificial anode” given to zincs. Have your bonding system inspected and maintained annually to prevent major damage and expense. Call one of our Service Managers today to discuss your maintenance needs.
