sacrificial zinc anodes need to be replaced every year. If there is shore power in your marina someone elses bad ground can still mess with you but new zincs will help.

The Menace

He is absolutely correct.

The other thing to check is your own grounds and make sure they are secure and making contact.

Power bleeding into the water from your or other boats is the primary casue of corrosion.

You can have more than one annode per drive. They make the round ones that clamp onto your hydraluic trim cylinder. Once you see them getting chewed up replace them.
