Chekika,
What is the spec. for this sacrificial anode?
Have you any more details, so that I might try it before I get this electrolytic corosion problem. I am pleased to hear that it is only cosmetic problem (except for the paddle, which is already difficult for me to pull apart), but if I can keep my boat looking good with just a couple of zinc strips easily fixed in the right place, then I will give it a go.
I've been reading about this rudder pin thing too. I think that I will be ordering a spare to carry with me. Is there a suggested list of spares that I should carry?
