Sacrificial anode maintenance is tough to predict. A good way to determine the maintenance schedule for a zinc is to look at it every time you use the boat for the first 10 times of use. Note the condition of the anode and how it changes over time and then create your own replacement schedule. It seems like a bit of work but if you’re noticing the anode is being eaten away from corrosion you could be in a situation where you have a charge in the water near your boat. It is a tell-tale sign of the conditions of the surrounding water source. If there is a charge in the water nearby, this could cause electrolysis which can eat up your new heat exchanger or oil cooler very quickly. If the anode is 50 percent gone it should be replaced is a common rule.
