Zincs Are A Critical Part of Boat Maintenance


DiverXTRM Marine Services Zinc Replacement

Boats and yachts are exposed to many elements that can cause damage and wear to different parts of the vessel. One of the most critical parts of a boat or yacht that is susceptible to wear and damage is the underwater metal components. Zincs are an essential component that helps protect boats and yachts from damage and corrosion.


Boat and yacht owners should prioritize the maintenance and replacement of zincs to ensure that their vessel is protected from corrosion and wear.

Zincs, also known as sacrificial anodes, are metals that are more active than other underwater metals, such as steel or aluminum. They are installed on boats and yachts to protect these other metals from corroding. Zincs work by attracting the corrosion that would have otherwise attacked the metal components on the boat or yacht. Instead of the corrosion damaging these components, the zincs will corrode, protecting the boat or yacht from damage and wear.


Boat and yacht owners should prioritize the maintenance and replacement of zincs to ensure that their vessel is protected from corrosion and wear. Zincs should be inspected and/or replaced at minimum, every 2 months in South Florida. If the zincs show signs of significant corrosion, they should be replaced immediately to prevent damage to the boat or yacht.
