 RUDDER ZINCS
70-R1 Zinc anodes are placed on hulls, propeller shafts, rudders, trim tabs, outboard engines, stern drives, and in the cooling system of most inboard engines to protect their metal parts from galvanic corrosion.
Galvanic corrosion occurs when dissimilar metals, such as an aluminum stern drive and a bronze through-hull, are placed in an electrolyte solution such as seawater.
If your zincs need replacement more often than once a year it is a strong indicator that you have an electrical leakage problem that should be located and corrected.
