Boats with all underwater fittings bonded together electrically are usually fitted with one or more zinc plates bolted to the hull. The mounting bolts are connected by heavy-gauge electrical cable to the bonding circuit. If these anodes are allowed to deplete or if the electrical connection deteriorates, other underwater metal, such as bronze fittings, will begin to corrode. Zinc hull plates also protect the hulls of metal boats.
