        don't they do something similar on steel hull ships?  I think they 
use a sacrificial piece of metal which they let rust and therefore remove/
use up/involve some critical component of the oxidation process.

     >>Yup, fiberglass-hulled ships also use this type of
     thing for sacrificial corrosion. Supposedly extends the
     life of the metal thru-hull fittings. 

     Now, has anyone ever heard that this was reason for
     brit-cars having + as ground ?
