Default Sacrificial anode on Aluminum boat

I'm in the process of rejuvenating an older model Lowe 16' aluminum. Used it years ago and it sat for several years. Didn't know the dangers of brackish/saltwater and aluminum, found small corrosion marks under bunks and on transom. I filled these pin holes and covered them with JB Weld Waterweld.

After putting in the work of patching, sanding, cleaning, priming and painting, I want to mitigate this potential problem as much as possible. For the aluminum boat owners, where did you place your sacrificial anode, and what size did you use?

I was thinking about installing this one on the transom below the waterline before I get to painting the back.



Thoughts or advice?
