I've had good luck using the zinc "sacrificial anodes" available at
any good marine supply.  They do an excellent job preventing galvanic
corrosion, but your LBC should be kept immersed in salt water for best
results.  My personal favorite is the little silver fish that you hang
from your rear bumper.
