    Corrosion Protection

    I would put a zink on eash side of the pod, the blistering also might be from a fault in powder coating make sure your zink is physicaly attached to the boat, making contact , sounds odd, but people do put a stainless washer between them and then nullify the field and purpose. it has to be...
