Zinc Replacement
Zincs protect your boat’s critical metal components from corrosion. We replace zincs before failure to keep your vessel safe and electrically balanced. We provide a zinc condition report after each cleaning so you’re fully informed about what’s happening below the waterline
Zinc Replacement That Protects Your Boat From Corrosion
Zincs play a critical role in protecting your vessel’s metal components from corrosion. We replace zinc anodes when they reach approximately 50% of their lifespan to ensure your boat remains electrically protected and safe in the water.
Zinc anodes allow electrical current to exit through the zinc instead of your boat’s metal components, preventing costly damage over time.
Benefits
- Protection against galvanic corrosion
- Extended life of underwater metal components
- Reduced risk of expensive repairs
- Proper electrical discharge into the water
- Reliable preventative maintenance
How It Works
- Zinc Inspection – We assess existing zinc condition and wear level.
- Timely Replacement – Zincs are replaced before failure occurs.
- Proper Installation – Correct placement ensures effective protection.
- Maintenance Guidance – We advise on future replacement intervals.
Questions about zinc replacement
When should zincs be replaced?
We replace zincs at approximately 50% of their lifespan, and you get a zinc condition report after each cleaning.
How do zinc anodes work on a boat?
Two different metals in salt water act like a small battery, and the weaker metal corrodes. A zinc is bolted on to be that weaker metal, so it wears away instead of your prop, shaft or rudder. A painted zinc stops working.
