Zincs going too fast

Anyone had an issue with your boat suddenly going though zincs too rapidly? My diver noticed it. While working on my neighbor’s boat he checked on the zincs he installed on my boat 3-4 months ago and noticed they were 50-75% gone. My local boat repair guy recommended installing a galvanized isolator.

On Skol #130, I always install two zincs and I am on a mooring. When I only used one it would barely make the season. In the spring I do not remove any remaining zincs. I also paint the area around the zinc screws with nail polish so the screws do not disolve.
