I had the “fish” shaped zinc and found the wire corrodes and breaks off right above the zinc.
For the past 10+ years have been getting shaft zincs from Boatzincs.com which are milspec. They are more expensive than other sources for zincs, but after getting some pink “fire” of de-zincification on an old prop switched to Boat Zincs. They also seem to last longer than the cheaper ones from Defender [from China] or WM. https://www.boatzincs.com/hanging_anode_zinc.html Also more expensive, but considerably less than a new prop… Just make certain whatever you clip a hanging zinc to is well grounded to the boat.

I was thinking maybe I could attach a wire somewhere and dangle the an anode over the side, attached to the wire. I think it might be too cold for a diver at this point. Or, if anyone knows of a diver that could do the job in Portsmouth RI, that would be great too. I did call one that the yard gave me but, he didn't return the call.
