Gotchya Jim.

I actually don't really know if my tabs are bonded (never checked to see, had no reason that I knew of to check but will now) but the zincs are definately being eroded over the season. I will continue to use them.

(This is why I don't have a JOE'S MARINE SERVICE shingle hanging from my wall.  TT^)

Thanks for keeping us informed.  t^ slt

Correct me if I am wrong but
I thought the bond system is a ground wire that runs from one zinc anode to all of the metal items on the boat. Such as the engine, ground stud on electronics and t-top or arch etc…
If that is true, that would protect all of the items with that one anode Right?

You can check if your trim tabs are bonded to a ground wire by doing a continuity test from one trim tab to the other. If the meter reads continuity then the trim tabs are bonded together and most likely grounded to the boats ground system.
