As a matter of curiosty, have any h26 owners experienced galvanic action on their boats? I bought Molly, a 1997 h26 in 1998 here in Puerto Vallarta. The boat had been in the water for about a year. Pre-sale inspection revealed metal deterioration on the rudder, swing keel hinge, and ballast tank valve. I had everything fixed and since then have hung a small zinc (fish) over the side with the everything wired together (inside the boat) and connected to the zinc. Molly is always in the water. I go through a zinc in about six months, but no more galvanic action problems. Has anyone else had this problem and how was it dealt with? David King "Molly"
