Some people fit keel anodes, some connect the keel bolts to the anode and some, like us, do nothing. I think that generally the thinking is that the keel is such a heavy mass that a bit of electrolysis doesnt matter. However, the whole issue of anodes and bonding does seem a bit of a black art.

MG Duff, who make anodes, have a helpful website and if that does not answer your question, you could email them.

I dont think it's a an issue that you need to worry about immediately.
