What you get
Fresh zinc anodes, installed underwater
Zinc anodes corrode on purpose so your propellers, shafts, rudders and through-hulls do not. In Miami warm salt water they wear fast — our divers inspect and replace them right at your slip, no haul-out, and send before-and-after photos.
Galvanic corrosion never stops in salt water — it slowly eats propellers, shafts and rudders every day the boat sits. Zinc anodes are the cheap sacrificial metal that corrodes first so your expensive running gear does not. We check them on every dive and replace them before they are gone, which costs a fraction of repairing a pitted shaft or prop.

Why it pays off
Worn zincs mean corroded running gear

Zincs sacrifice themselves so salt water eats them instead of your expensive metal running gear.

Frequently asked questions
Why do boats need zinc anodes?
Zinc anodes protect your boat's metal components (propeller shaft, rudder, through-hulls) from galvanic corrosion in saltwater. Without zincs, expensive metal parts corrode and fail prematurely.
How often should zinc anodes be replaced on a boat?
In Miami's saltwater, zinc anodes should be inspected monthly and replaced when they are 50% depleted. Most boats need zinc replacement every 3-6 months depending on water conditions and electrical systems.
Can zinc anodes be replaced underwater?
Yes. Aqua Pro's certified divers replace zinc anodes underwater at your slip. No haul-out needed. We carry common zinc sizes and can replace them during your regular hull cleaning appointment.

What Zinc Anodes We Replace
Underwater anode replacement at your dock.
Zinc anodes are sacrificial metals bolted to your hull, shaft, propeller, trim tabs, and engine. In salt water they corrode first, protecting the expensive underwater metal around them. Once an anode is more than about half gone it stops doing its job, and your running gear starts to corrode.
Why Choose Aqua Pro for Zinc Replacement
Our divers, photo documentation, honest assessments.
Our divers replace every anode on your boat underwater, at the dock — hull, shaft, prop nut, trim tabs, and engine zincs. We match the correct anode type to your water (zinc for salt, aluminum for brackish) and document each one with photos before and after.
When to Replace Your Zincs
How often to check and replace your anodes.
Most boats in South Florida need their anodes checked every couple of months and replaced two to four times a year, depending on how the boat is wired, how often it runs, and stray current at the marina. We check your zincs on every hull cleaning and tell you when they actually need changing.
Our Zinc Replacement Process
Defending your running gear from corrosion.
We inspect anodes at every location — hull, propulsion, lower unit, and cooling system — and replace what is worn before it puts your gear at risk. It is a small, inexpensive service that prevents thousands of dollars in corrosion damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often do zinc anodes need replacement in Miami?
In Miami's warm, conductive saltwater, zincs deplete faster than in colder northern waters. We check and replace as needed on every cleaning visit ”” typically every 4”“8 months.
What happens if I let my zincs run out?
Depleted zincs leave your propeller shafts, rudder fittings, and through-hulls unprotected from galvanic corrosion. Replacement costs for shafts and props can run into thousands of dollars.
Do you stock common zinc sizes?
Our dive team carries the most common shaft, hull, and rudder zinc sizes on every service call. Same-day replacement is standard practice.
