Anodes...

[colingray3]

Duffer - your earlier post about what you want for Xmas reminded me of a question:

Quote "All underwater fittings to be made from inert materials so no problems with galvanic corrosion, anodes etc,"

If you're planning a long overnight anchorage should you fit an anode to the anchor?

I wonder why through hull fittings arent plastic or similar?

Hmmm - thought the hook might be too obvious & bait insufficient.

Where's me hand grenade!

Well, on my tin-boat, through-hulls actually are plastic! (and they are in use with no problems since quite a few years!!)
Couldn't guess why they are not used on GRP boats as well.
