Best place to buy zinc anodes in Ft Lauderdale area?

[fxsales]

Hey Y'all,
T-minus 9 days til my baby goes out of dry dock for the maiden voyage. I still need to get the zincs put on and the bottom painted. zincs seem way out of line at West Marine, and I was told of place in FLL that sells nothing but zincs. Anybody familiar with the place?
thanks
John

Try BOW in Ft/L. They have one at Rt 84 not far from Rt 1. Feel free to PM for more info.

FYI for SE Florida boaters. They guys at our boat club turned me on to this place. They are wholesalers and manufacturers, but if you have cash and know the secret hand shake they will sell to the public. I got a 1.25 shaft zinc, (4) 3 3/4 rudder/trim tab sincs, and a 6x12 hull zinc, and they custom drilled the hull plate, for $103 including tax. Obviously no freight. Much cheaper than anyplace on the net. The place is a bitch to find, but if you have GPS you'll find it in Dave, FL.

I don't know if I'm allowed to post links, but google Zimar International. (954) 424-3844‎

PS: there isn't a secret hand shake, I just told them my boat club recommended them....

Google Zimar and you won’t find a manufacturers website!!

I would never buy zincs unless they are made from a reputable manufacturer that has some technical references.

Look at martyr (martyranodes.com/content), Camp Co. (http://www.campcompany.com), Reliance(http://www.metaldist.com/index.php)

These three companies are very well known in the anode industry in N.America. Call them for a distributor.

Your boat is worth to much to skimp on this

Since BoatZincs.com is the popular place to get these products I priced out the above 1 1/4" shaft zinc, (4) 3 3/4" ruddrer/trim tabs and a 6x12x1/2 inch plate and it totaled with shipping $89.72. I can drill 2 holes for my self for the difference.

I frequent this site and usually don’t comment but as a corrosion engineer and a captain, zincs are very important and not worth skimping on
