I have searched the history of this forum, but could not find anything, so herewith the question.
I replaced all my zinc annodes about 2 months ago, boat went into the water, but was taken out last week again to install the stabilizers. In total I will spend about 1 month on the dry, then the boat will go in the water again.
Obviously all the zinc annodes are more or less new, but what would be the correct thing to do ?
1. Can I leave them the way they are and just keep using them ?
2. Should I clean them with a brush and then keep using them ?
3. Should I just take them all off, throw them away and install new ones ?
Fun part is that over here I hear all three opinions, but nobody is sure about it. If they would be fairly old I would change them, but they are brand new and in very good condition. Worst part is that some of those annodes I cannot even find here.
Appreciat the input.
