What kind of problems did you have with Marine Air AC. Looking to install AC for next season in my 36.

I did the upgrade to 1.25" guard a couple of years ago. Of course ran into the same problem with the base of pedestal.

Did you inadvertently use a different anode material from last time. They come in zinc, aluminum and magnesium and all have different rates of wear.
