Sacrificial Anode

[Plymouth Sailor]

Dear Fellow Sailors:

I've never had an anode on my 25' sailboat (lead keel). I don't believe I've had any issues with electrolyte corrosion. Any anecdotal or Anodedotal evidence of issues anyone has had are appreciated.
Thanks

Do you have an inboard or outboard engine?

Other than the keel, are there any metal fittings below the waterline?

Are you on a mooring or at a dock with electric power?

If you decide to add one it’s important to use the right material for your location
