What year & model of VP do you have? I have a 2000 DP-S which has two anodes. You should definitely go with mag anodes. Don't waste your time with Boatzincs.com, I tried to get mag anodes from them last year and got the run-around. Go see Charlie at Thurston's Marina Parts Dept. He got them for me in a week.
