[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 400160, member: 6937"] As crazy as it may sound, the BEST anode for an aluminum boat is an aluminum anode. It provides protection in salt, and brackish waters. Magnesium is too reactive for salt water, and will actually lift the paint off the boat. Zinc isn't reactive enough, and the boat will corrode if you leave it in the water for long periods of time.
