Do I need to replace the Dynaplate?

When the hull was last painted, whoever did it painted right over the Dynaplate (which has big raised letters on it saying "DO NOT PAINT".

Anyone know if I can I simply take off and sandblast, or do I need to replace? It's only a couple of hundred bucks, but if it only needs a sandblast, why throw away money.

Also, the plate can act as a secondary sacrificial (bronze I think). It has not deteriorated in any noticeable way.

Sandblast it. I had a couple of rocket scientists do the same to my Chris Craft. With a steel hull, the anodes are VERY important. I sanded off the flat ones and sand blasted the shaped ones. Reading on the CAPAC was perfect when I got done. No worries.

Thanks Redhook. That's what I'll do then.
