I thought Aluminum for fresh water?

Aluminum is more for brackish water.

Whatever anodes were on drive weren't Mg because when I got the new anodes they are way lighter weight wise. As for priming the drive should I just feather back the area to prime or do I need to remove all the OEM paint first?
