- You can either buy a 'guppy' or 'mermaid' shaped zinc with an clip on one
- end to hook to the bonding system of the boat. These cost about $35 - $40,
- I took the path of buying a $5 zinc which had two copper wires comming out.
- To this is soldered 10 feet of stranded copper wire with insulation and
- coated the entire joint with polysulfide. Connect one end to the ground
- plane, drop the other over the side. To see if it is working, is it being
- eroded. If it is, it must be working!!!
