Re: Stus-List Hanging Zinc

[David Morrison via CnC-List]

I hang a zinc over the side that connects via alligator clip to the negative battery terminal.  I go through two zinc fishes a year.  This tells me it must be doing something.

Listers,

Every once in a while, I come across a boat with a submerged zinc hanging from a wire off the stern of a boat. Some people swear by them and others think it’s a wasted effort. 

What does the group think? Is it worthwhile to add (especially when on shore power) and, if so, where do you connect it on the boat? 

All the best,

Edd
