Our boat is kept in the water year round since July 2017. In the haul out this year we found two screw heads that fell off when touched on the swim platform. Looks like electrolysis. Solution is to put a zinc on each of the swim platform support struts. I posted a picture on the Cool Mint album so you can see the screw heads missing. In the boat yard I did observe most of the boats had zincs on their swim platform supports.
We are also going to have a wire from the zinc on the trim tabs to the stern of the boat trim tab screw to help prevent electrolysis on the trim tab hinge.
No stern zinc as we have outboards and the zinc installer did not see a reason for the zinc.
