So clearly something has changed in my marina. My anodes are dissolving at a far greater rate this season than last... possibly a new (bad) neighbor but who knows... after discovering I already have a galvanic isolator next step is purchasing a hanging 6 lb sacrificial anode (zinc).
Question is where to attach it to. I have twin 4.3s with alpha one gen 2 drives. Currently clamping the clamp to the fin / trim tab anode on one of the outdrives but that got me wondering: clamp is copper, cable is stainless and hanging anode is zinc. Is there an issue clamping copper to the zinc anode? Is there a better place to attach this to? Drawing blanks searching online.
