Aluminum hull
I'm seriously considering buying an all aluminum 42' sailboat. Consequently I've been reading up on galvanic corrosion, and scaring myself silly. It will be used as a liveaboard in the ocean full time. Are anodes sufficient protection? Is an impressed current system the way to go, OR is aluminum just too much hassle in the electrolyte(ocean)? Thanks in advance for your help.
