I boat mine there as well and had them shipped here to ontario. Great quality and a lot cheaper then buying them localy.

Just make sure you get the right ones for the water you'll be in, in salt water we use zinc but in freshwater its not active enough to protect so you have to specify when you buy them.
Also when I install them I like to put a little marine grease on the bolt threads so they don't get seized up in place. Especially if the boat is left in the water.

Lou, Do you use a specific type of grease or just standard marine wheel bearing grease? I know contact needs to be very good to transfer the corrosion to the anode from the attached surface or else it won't work. I always sanded the mating surfaces and never used grease so I am curious.

The ones from BoatZincs have the blue loctight on them.

Yes, you need the right ones for the water you are in. For me, I need AL for saltwater.

Any marine grease will do, or you can use gasket sealer like OMC gasket sealer or Permatex Aviation Sealer. As long as the anode itself makes good contact to the drive you don't have to worry about the bolts. Its not good if you can get the damn !@#$% bolts out LOL....
