@Bill Watson @Searageous thanks for the information, exactly what I needed! I placed my order with Boatzincs as the prices are 1/2 of the local West Marine.
What is everyone's thought on Aluminum vs Zinc in Salt Water? I went with Zinc since that is what I have been using, but they seem to be getting hard to find locally.
Glad it helped you out, as far as the zinc vs aluminum anodes I couldn't say since Ive never used aluminum. I did read somewhere that aluminum anodes need to be scrubbed and/or cleaned on occasion to work properly whereas thats not necessary with zinc.
These zinc anodes should last you all season with the possible exception of the shaft zincs. On my boat the shaft zincs are good until late summer and then they need to be changed so I order a total of 4 in the beginning of the season, this way I have the backups when I need them. I never have a problem getting them from boatzincs.com, but if you try aluminum let us know how they worked.
