    RJ........... Please read this from Boat Zinc website. Depends if you have shore power hooked up and a galvanic isolator or not.

    I am pretty sure that zinc is for saltwater and aluminum for brackish water.

    I have always used magnesium in fresh water. Salt water will destroy magnesium is a very short time.

    Actually the website says Zinc or Aluminum for salt or fresh and Magnesium (which is twice as costly) for Brackish water. Mercury has aluminum anodes on ther outdrives from the factory>
