Without a sacrificial anode one of the metals in the system is forced to sacrifice itself to the other, more noble, metals. Luckily, in this case, it was the least expensive and easiest metal to replace, the propeller nuts. Popping these shaft zincs on there securely will prevent any further corrosion. The boat is being hauled out for paint and other maintenance items soon so the prop nuts will be replaced at that time.

Noticed some corrosion issues on these trim tabs so we drilled them out and added pancake zincs. Also installed some 2 inch shaft zincs. We experimented a little bit with a die grinder for cleaning up mating surfaces… I think we need a bigger Compressor.

Noticed a few corrosion issues on this vessel when we cleaned it last week. Had to replace the trim tab hardware, drill a couple holes for the zincs and install shaft zincs. It was actually fun.

Just a quick clip of the scraping process.

Just installing some sacrificial anodes. All mating surfaces have to be cleaned to bare Metal. It’s really that simple, clean clean clean!

A nice and easy wipe down of this 36 foot Sailboat. Spent a little extra time. Polished the Flexofold Prop back to shiny. Sacrificial anodes are holding up nicely.

Even when I’m not working in the water, I’m playing in the water! Can’t get enough of it. Guess it goes without saying when you’re living the Keys life. Thank you thepunkcellist for the excellent rendition of New Found Glory’s “Sonny”
