At this year's Miami boat show I was told by several manufacturers of jet
drive boats that they are not suitable for tenders because the jet drives
contain far too many dissimilar metals to be left in the water. They must
be hauled out/up and rinsed with fresh water at the end of each day of use.
This was in response to my question about the location of zincs. They have
none! I'd say stick with an OB.
