No..... and NO!
Zinc Oxide primers, or just some preventative maintenance will keep the rust at bay.
My 2¢ worth.

We had the rust evader on our van. Ive heard theories debating both ways. Some say it works, some say no. I for one say that It seemed to help, but I can't prove it. I dident have any rust on the van till a while after I took it off, but that may just have been timing.
I woulden't pay much for one. Your money, like Kenny said, is better spent on proper preperation during a restore. But if you're not doing a full paint or body job, then the electronic gizmo is an option.
It definatly won't hurt anything to put it on there.
Give me some time and I can probably come up with a used unit for you, for the cost of shipping.

Gonna ask more on tomshobby Q!, given i have a healey with ali/steel contact points, would i be better off re electrolysis reduction with a pos or a neg earth?
Live in an area with a lot of ali boats and i think they are all neg earth for the reason of not having the ali hull as a sacrificial anode
Any expert advisors out there?

Zblu, probably the most significant point in having a negative ground in the Ali Boats is to accommodate modern electronic accessories. I access the Healey car problem from this same point of view. Positive Grounds were just the custom at that time and were not predicated upon corrosion reduction between dissimilar metals.--Fwiw--Keoke
