We've been in brackish water for nearly nine years (Napa River confluence with Carquinez Strait, San Francisco Bay Area). I consider it a plus as opposed to pure ocean water closer to San Francisco. We have reduced marine growth between hull cleanings as well as reduced electrolysis.

Consult with a marine corrosion control expert as to what type of "zincs" to use in your area. Some say aluminum are better than zinc in brackish conditions.
