In the process of purchasing a 2008 330 Sundancer. Need to have anodes/zinc's replaced for salt water. Does anyone know how many this model needs or requires? It has bow and stern thrusters and is a v-drive. I see it has 1 oval one on the transom above the drain plug and 1 on each trim tab. What about the drive shafts and thrusters? Should those have them as well? Thanks for any advice!

It is all about the current sourunding your boat. I would replace them after purchase and watch them in your marina. replace as needed. My 360 I replace them annually needed or not.

I replace mine annually, but my boat is in New England, so only in the water for 6 months. Most Sea Ray's do not have drive shaft zincs. But if yours does, then replace them. Your thrusters do have zincs, not too hard to replace. Also, the raw water cooling systems for engines and generator have zincs too. I usually replace them every other year. Use aluminum zincs, better for the environment and work in brackish water

Also, if you have trim tabs, those will be needed and also an transom zinc possibly.

My thruster has anodes as well. They are mounted on the thruster propeller hub.

If the engines have heat ex changers, they are inside those also
