Quick story. There was a big ol
steel trawler down the
dock from us. Nice old couple. Had a leak or two in the
hull. I asked about zincs. They said "what's that?" I bought them a couple of zinc
fish. A couple of month latter the lady says "What's it mean if they turn white?" But they now sadly hVe bigger problems.
Had a
steel house
boat come in for a bottom job. When they scrapped the bottom it had HUNDREDS of holes. Absolutely amazing that it floated. No zincs, at least 6" of
water in the flat
bilge,
interior steel never painted,
BILGE PUMP DEFUNCT! Yet it was 20 - 30 years old. Still sitting in the yard, it needs a whole new bottom, or a crusher.
