Why Zincs Matter in Florida
Warm Salt Water Eats Zincs
Gulf water is warm and salty, which speeds up galvanic corrosion. Zincs here often wear out faster than boat owners expect.
They Protect Costly Metal
Sacrificial anodes corrode first so your prop, shaft, rudder and outdrive don't. A worn-out zinc means those parts start taking the damage.
Marina Electrical Leaks
Stray current from nearby boats and docks can chew through zincs quickly. Regular checks catch it early.
Easy to Bundle
We check zincs on every hull cleaning, so replacement is usually done in the same visit.
Common Questions
How often should boat zincs be replaced?
Check them at every hull cleaning. Many boats in Florida salt water need new zincs within several months to a year, depending on water, marina and metals. Replace when they have lost about half their mass.
Can zincs be replaced without hauling the boat?
Yes. We replace hull, shaft and rudder zincs underwater at your slip.
How do I know if my zincs are worn out?
Heavily pitted, flaking or mostly gone zincs need replacing. If you are not sure, we inspect them and send you photos.
How much does zinc replacement cost?
Pricing is per zinc installation plus the cost of the anode. Call or text for a free quote.
