A friend of mine gave me a "Zinc Saver" which is an electronic component that connects between the boat's AC ground and bonding system. It monitors and reduces the potential current to the boat's ground, thereby reducing (eliminating?) the electrolsis process. If this system works right, it should reduce the deterioration rate of the zinc collars on my prop shaft. The plus would be a smoother running shaft. However, another friend of mine has heard of zinc saver malfunctions and the result was rapid electrolsis and severe damage to the underwater metals (prop, propshaft. rudder post, etc). Have any of our Hunterowners out there in sailing-cyberland installed a zinc saver and if so has it performed to your expectations? Appreciate any response!JoeO
