Thinking about putting aluminum heads on raw water cooled hp500's and concerned about corrosion issues. Just came across this "Zinc Saver Corrosion Control System for I/O engines". Does anyone have experience with a product like this, or thoughts otherwise?

I have no experience with that or this cheaper and closer alternative…some put screw in ‘zincs’ in unused threaded water ports in intake manifolds.
i have untreated alum heads for about 18 yrs. Very fresh water. When winterized (about 8 months sits winterized) i use real coolant that protects from corrosion. Yes, i reclaim all of each year.

I believe aluminum or zinc needed for salt ??? Not sure. Read up on what you need.
