    It keeps the algea from eating your pump....think of it like food for the algea it attracts it to those....You are supposed to keep them greased up with some marine grease...

    AJ... did you post that with absolute certainty? algea!? algea from EATING? algea eating metal?

    u don NOT grease them... it's a ZINC tab.... boats have them in strategic spots and on their hydraulic trim tabs as well...

    You guys must be on the pots tonight :P ,

    electrolisys (spelling), those are sacraficial anodes so the battery current and conductive electricity doesn`t eat up your alum, and metal components. When these erode enough, you simply replace them.


    You guys are smoking the wrong sh!t man...PR...
