If you are talking rigging, Galvanized steel wire rope (cable) is good for standing rigging. For running rigging(falls, tow wire, etc.) it does no good, because the galvi chips off. To protect non galvanized wire you must slush it with a heavy grease or oil, usually fish oil, today.

Galvanized means to coat iron with zinc to protect it from corrosion.
What is your question?
We have a zinc on the shaft to help protect from stray current corrosion in the marina.
I have seen galvanized pails but I am not sure about galvanized boats.

gal·va·nize (gÄl'vÉ-nÄ«z') pronunciation
tr.v., -nized, -niz·ing, -niz·es.
1. To stimulate or shock with an electric current.
2. To arouse to awareness or action; spur: “Issues that once galvanized the electorate fade into irrelevance” (Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.).
3. To coat (iron or steel) with rust-resistant zinc.

Great! Zinc coated and rust proof! As long as it's above the waterline if not, you're just ringing the dinner bell for electrolysis.
