E25 sacrificial zincs??

[briangsmith]

i posted this last year, but don't recall getting a definitive
response- getting her ready for the season, which will include
new through hulls (arrgh)- and wondering, do i need sacrificial
zincs for my (stainless) centerboard pin? for the bronze through
hulls?? the only zinc that came with the boat was the old worn
out one on the outboard shaft~

The easiest thing to do with the new bronze thru-hulls you'll be putting in is to leave them isolated. Unless you are having an unusual problem, I wouldn't worry about doing zincs on the thru-hulls.

Any signs of corrosion around the centerboard pin? It is probably fine.

You are probably fine to just renew the zincs on the outboard and leave it at that.
