Anodes – yes/no ?

If you wanted some visual proof that some form of anode protection is desirable on some vessels (covering my ass here……..) – look no further than the above photo. I’m told the sump was worse.

Usual story – boat left on mooring unattended, bilge pump not working, a ‘wee’ bit of water in the bilge & as James Mobberley at Moon Engines said when I showed him the photo, the engine was performing the role of anode 😦
