Fish,

What exactly are you talking about? We need more details, used on what?

Well, were are talking SACRIFICIAL anodes here right. Your outboard or outdrive is made of Aluminum. You want to use zinc so that it strays away instead of your important parts. Now in freshwater they use something other than zinc, magnesium for freshwater only.
