Cathodic bonding I am reviewing the cathodic protection of my 411. I currently use a shaft anode and propeller anode, replacing both each season. 1. Why did Swan NOT fit any through hull anodes, only shaft anodes? MG Duff recommend through hull, see www.mgduff.co.uk 2. Where is best to attach the earthing wire on the rudder stock assembly as I have no drawings in my files of the rudder. John B 411-010

Dear John Bonding has been treated earlier on this forum, see for example the thread dated 9th September 2011. Kind regards Lars

Dear Lars, had problems with my IT so sorry for the long delay in responding. Having looked back at some of the threads, my understanding is that no cathodic protection is deemed necessary other than on the prop. Is that correct?
