The electrolysis is the big issue. Check out your zincs when you haul it out. All it takes is a boat with a bad ground on the next dock to wreak havoc on your boat's parts. Sometimes it's the marina that's discharging.... If I were in a marina, I would hang huge sacrificial zinc fish every time I tied up the boat.....
