Are you in a marina? Do you have a shore power connection? Lots of folks are experiencing marinas with stray electrical currents that can cause problems resulting in rapid zinc loss. this is certainly not normal.
West marine has a great article that explains grounding that may shed some light on the potential solution. We would need a lot more info on the specific setup of the boat before we could do diagnosis over the web.
