Rapid anode depletion is far more likely to be caused by an electrical problem aboard the boat in question than it is to be caused by a "hot" dock or marina. While it can't hurt to check for stray current in the water, TXS-ALAMO should consider going through his boat's electrical system as well, IMHO.
