I once knew of a Springer "bug" - only 5mm to start with - never changed the anodes. When trying to sell 10 years or so later - it was down to 1.75mm thick in places. Our boat is 24 years old, always had anodes of good size - last measurement was 5.7mm at the thinnest point (started life at 6mm). I'll stick with the anodes...
