I'm contemplating hanging an additional zinc over the side to extend the life of my other zincs. I have one on my Maxprop and one on the prop shaft. The Maxprop zinc usually goes first.
I need to get this additional zinc connected to the bonding system. I can run a bonding wire from the main point where all my bonding comes together up to the mounting bolt of a stanchion base. Then clip a wire with the zinc onto the stanchion base. This will negate the need to penetrate the hull or deck with a wire.
Any issues with bonding the stanchions? I have a Stainless Steel bar between two stanchions with a solar panel mounted to the bar so the panel would be bonded.
Anything else to consider with adding an over-the-side zinc?
How do I know this zinc will sacrifice first?
