Well post a pic and we will have a poll to see if you are a sailor (nice ass clad in tacky khakis) or a plumber (funny ass clad not very well in old Carhartts).

I was always under the impression that zinc was more resistant to corrosion than other soft metals, and that teh anti-electrolysis fittings are made of a very corrosion- PRONE material (sacrificial) that will take all the corrosion while the surrounding structural members remain solid.

The most beautiful sailboat I have ever seen had a hull clad in a layer of copper. I know copper corrodes just fine, but I'll bet it was electrified. And it has fantastic anti-fouling properties.
