    I'm just glad I haven't had that issue. What a mess. The pictures I've seen from that look like such a nightmare.

    I'm under it pretty regularly, I'm always looking. I've been thinking about coating it in por-15 or something as a precaution. Not too incredibly motivated to do it just yet.

    No nothing to mine. It really stays clean. I think I will ask our engineer about the anodes on the truck frame.

    It's fairly simple and effective. I hadn't thought of it much before but it's not a bad idea. What material do you guys use?

    Not sure on the actual mixture of the anodes. I think they are different depending on where they are installed. I will get more info from Randy at work, he lives this stuff. We just install where we are told.

    Well, if they're cheap and lightweight I'd be down to buy a few just for grins.

    You can get them at any marine place. My outboard motors have them bolted on at the bottom.

    For sure, I'm interested to hear what he has to say as well.

    Found 4 plates for $20 on eBay. Saved for later. Definitely something to consider, I am at the beach a lot.
