It oxidizes. A zinc block on a boat is called a sacrificial or cathodic anode. It reacts better with the electrolyte (salt water) than the metal on the boat.
Just have a crack at Sacrificial anode in wikipedia.org.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sacrificialIt basically means giving something up.
Will that work to eat up the Zinc(anode) instead the iron pipe ?Will the copper lead the ions to the zinc, or its resistivity will jeopardize the sacrificial protection combination ?thank you
Tin protects iron from corrosion through a process called sacrificial protection, where the tin acts as a sacrificial anode and corrodes instead of the iron. The tin forms a protective layer over the iron, preventing exposure to moisture and oxygen which are necessary for corrosion to occur. This sacrificial layer of tin can be periodically replaced to maintain the protective barrier.
A 20 ft long or less boat must have a capacity plate.

As a sacrificial anode on boat hulls and oil drilling rigs etc to prevent corrosion
The transom plate on a boat is located on the back of the boat. This in where the engine mounts to the boat and needs to be mounted at the correct height depending on whether the engine is a short or long shaft.

A boat capacity pate tells you the maximum number of people that can fit in the boat at any one time.
