I am looking at the last hull cleaning report and I want to get ahead and get my 12 x 6 zinc plate ordered.
Can someone recommend a particular make and model?

Diver's Dream or Martyr. Most any chandlery has them, got mine at Defender.com. They come in zinc, aluminum, and magnesium. Don't know where you are, but zinc is for salt water, mag is fresh water, alum is both. Just order the closest size in the appropriate material. They have long slots for the mounting bolts so spacing is not critical. They are not boat make/model specific.

Thank you!
 
In salt water you can use either aluminum or zinc. However you need to use all of one type, don’t mix them with each other.
 
You should not mix the anode metals. I suggest you consider aluminum rather than zinc. Auminum is less expensive and aluminum has about twice the electron life as that of zinc.
