Hello, I have a 2016 scarab 255 that we keep in the water during the summer. The boat is new to us as of a month ago and keeping it in the water at a Marina is also new to us. Anyway I pulled it out of the water today to wash it after a month of being in the water and I noticed some growth and pitting on the impeller house. Nothing serious but it led me to investigate the anodes. They look undisturbed, I looked up the part number that stamped on them and they appear to be zinc which isn't going to work up here in freshwater (we are in Wisconsin on the bay of green bay). Everyone up here uses magnesium. I'm having trouble finding anything in magnesium, or really any information on it at all. Anyone have the part numbers?
