They are quite worn and could be the reason for the corrosion I'm seeing near the skeg and on the rod ends of the trim cylinders. No salt but it's always in the water, slipped in a mostly stagnant area (the basin off Winter Harbor). This also gives me a lot of headache cleaning the hull every fall but can't beat the price I'm paying for the slip so it is what it is. New anodes are cheap insurance anyway.
Thanks.
