Erosion of the Zinc anode and HF transmission via PacTOR modemand Sailmail

After checking my zinc anode, I'm fairly certain I'm getting
accelerated erosion of my shaft zinc anode when transmitting Sailmail

Sailmail and the PacTOR modem drive the HF radio (an ICOM IC-M710)
fairly hard.
Does everyone transmitting with a PacTOR modem suffer accelerated
erosion of their zinc anodes? Or is this something specific to my
installation (and can be corrected)? If the latter, what should I look
for and correct?
