Any other 92S folks have issues with corrosion/electrical issues impacting your keel? If so what was experience as to cause/solution? Moored in salt water.
See photos.

I've not had any problems with mine, which is barrier coated with Baltoplate on top and the boat is sailed in brackish Chesapeake Bay water.    That said, I change the saildrive zinc yearly and don't connect the boat to shore power while in the slip.   

Usually lead keels are pretty inert and corrosion shows up in other places before then.   Do you have any observations of corrosion on the saildrive zinc?
