We were hauled out this week and I noticed that pretty much all our zincs were eaten up from being replaced in the beginning of the season. All that was left was maybe 40% of the transom zinc. Last year I did a short haul in late August and the zincs were a little over half gone o I figured I'd be fine for a full season. I was surprised to see all my zincs were completely gone this season (even my shaft zincs). My dock mate noticed back in early Sept that his were all gone as well but he stays in year round. Do I need to start hauling out mid season to replace my zincs?
 
Is your Galvanic Isolator working correctly?
What material "zincs" did you install? Are you in brackish or salt water?
Is your Mercathode system working correctly?
